GOP Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy's Claims About Gunshot Wound Challenged by Documents

Documents released through a FOIA request reveal inconsistencies in Tim Sheehy's account of a 2015 gunshot incident, raising questions about his credibility.

Documents from the National Park Service detail an incident where Tim Sheehy, a GOP Senate candidate, allegedly shot himself in 2015, which he initially claimed was an accident.
Sheehy later admitted that the story was fabricated to cover up a wound he said was from a 2012 firefight in Afghanistan.
The incident was first reported to park rangers by hospital personnel, not by a park visitor as Sheehy had initially claimed.
Sheehy was fined $525 for illegally discharging his weapon in Glacier National Park.
The controversy surrounding Sheehy's gunshot wound story has raised concerns among veterans and could impact his Senate campaign.
