Tim Sheehy's gun went off in Glacier National Park in 2015 , prompting a $ 525 fine.

He says he went to the hospital for treatment for a gunshot wound and received a fine.

The Republican Senate candidate now says he was never hit by gunfire on that day in the park.

Megyn Kelly says voters in Montana are confused about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A spokesperson for Sheehy said the bullet in his arm was a result of his service in Afghanistan .

The Republican challenger has led Tester in most public polls, though Democrats insist the race isn’t over.

SheeHy described the complexity of fighting in combat in Afghanistan with “ Afghan forces embedded with us”.
