Montana park ranger says Senate candidate Tim Sheehy lied about combat wound

Sheehy has claimed he was wounded in Afghanistan, but ranger says he investigated accidental shooting in 2015

A former Montana park ranger has now publicly accused Tim Sheehy - a Republican running for a US Senate seat in the state - of lying about getting shot while at war in Afghanistan.

In an interview with the Washington Post published on Friday, 67-year-old Kim Peach went on the record about how Sheehy - a former US navy seal - actually shot himself on a family trip in 2015 at Glacier national park. Peach's account explicitly contradicts Sheehy's claim that he was shot in the arm during military combat, a story that the Republican candidate has shared throughout his US Senate campaign.
