'Mind blowing insanity': Dem Senate candidate ripped after bullet fragment hits local reporter at gun range

Social media erupted on Tuesday in response to a Democratic Senate candidate firing an AR-15 at a gun range that resulted in a local reporter being struck by a bullet fragment.

"We got to hang out with some union workers while exercising our freedom. Always have your first aid kit handy. Shrapnel can always fly when you hit a target like today, and you've got to be ready to go. We had four first aid kits, so we were able to take care of the situation, and I'm glad Ryan is okay and was able to continue reporting."

"You could've killed somebody today, you freaking moron," Davis added. "What kind of a brain dead idiot shoots steel inside 10 yards with a rifle?"

"I was grateful for the opportunity to talk to union workers about our freedoms at the range," Kunce told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Safety is important to us which is why the range was set up and run by a certified NRA training counselor. But any time you are handling weapons, you need to be prepared. We acted quickly and I'm glad the reporter was okay and able to keep reporting."

"The last time Josh Hawley saw a gun," Kunce wrote.
