Kunce, a Democrat, was at a private residence near Holt north of Kansas City with former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican. A fragment appeared to have ricocheted off a target.

Ryan Gamboa of KSHB-TV began to bleed from his arm. Kunce, a Marine veteran with 13 years of service, wrapped his belt and gauze around the reporter’s elbow to stop the bleeding. Later, the wound was wrapped in medical tape. Gamboa continued his mission at the range.

Two weeks before Election Day, the shooting range was held. Kunce’s campaign ads have highlighted his military background, and some show him shooting a gun.

5 years later & AOC is still beating her antisemitic, anti-Israel drum. Unfortunately, her influence is only growing, and the media is happy to give her a bullhorn anytime she wants one. If you’ve had enough of AOC, then help us start the efforts to remove her from Congress early so we succeed! It’s time to Protect American Values!

Kunce has a steep uphill battle in his campaign to defeat Sen. Josh Hawley. Hawley is a Republican who is seeking re-election in the Senate. Hawley received 51% of the support in a September Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll, while Kunce got 40%.

Kunce and Kinzinger were to have a rally in Kansas City on Tuesday night.
