A Candidate for U.S. Senate Says He Was Shot in War. Was He?
Briefly

Tim Sheehy has built his political narrative around a harrowing gunshot wound he claims resulted from a firefight in Afghanistan, enhancing his image among Montanan voters.
Despite the emergence of conflicting accounts about the origin of his bullet wound, Sheehy maintains his version of events, asserting that his injury came from his military service.
Former SEAL colleague Dave Madden stated, 'Tim never mentioned any gunshot wound during our time together in Afghanistan; it would be hard to believe he wouldn't have shared such a significant detail.'
Park ranger Kim Peach recounted, 'Mr. Sheehy told me he accidentally shot himself in the arm, showing me a revolver with a spent round that day at the hospital.'
