Peach\u2019s account explicitly contradicts Sheehy\u2019s claim that he was shot in the arm during military combat, a story that the Republican candidate has shared throughout his US Senate campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Peach said that Sheehy\u2019s allegedly self-inflicted wound left him with a bullet lodged in his right arm at Glacier national park in Montana\u2019s Rocky Mountains. He told the Post that he first met Sheehy at a hospital in the area of the park during the aftermath of the 2015 episode.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"1e920b81-4fe2-4c0a-93ac-25393571f072\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:3,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Harris and Trump pushed to extreme plays for support in knife-edge race&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;1e920b81-4fe2-4c0a-93ac-25393571f072&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/19\/harris-trump-polls-election-race&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI remember Sheehy obviously being embarrassed by the situation but at the same time thankful that it wasn\u2019t worse,\u201d Peach said to the Post. There, Sheehy also confirmed to Peach that he had mistakenly shot himself after his firearm discharged in his car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Peach said he then inspected Sheehy\u2019s gun and observed a bullet casing, confirming the firearm had discharged. That same day, Peach issued Sheehy a $525 fine for discharging a firearm in the national park, according to government records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Peach also wrote about the case in a 2015 report about the gunshot, writing he was \u201cgrateful no other persons or property were damaged\u201d, the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Post first spoke with Peach \u2013 who initially came forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/04\/06\/tim-sheehy-montana-senate-gunshot-wound-national-park\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">anonymously<\/a> \u2013 in April to dispute Sheehy\u2019s claim. But several Republican public figures quickly disclosed Peach\u2019s identity, leading to harassment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Sheehy and others accused Peach of unduly attempting to discredit the candidate\u2019s military service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In response to the Post\u2019s reporting in April, Sheehy claimed that he actually lied to Peach in 2015 about accidentally shooting himself. Sheehy said that he fell and injured his arm during the hike in Glacier \u2013 but he lied about the self-inflicted shooting to conceal the fact that he <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/montana-gop-candidate-flip-control-senate-nagged-claims-114944961\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">may have<\/a> obtained the bullet wound during friendly fire that he endured while fighting in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A spokesperson for<strong> <\/strong>Sheehy has said that Peach is a Democrat, and his most recent interview in an attempt to spread a \u201cdefamatory story\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-11\" class=\"dcr-jzxpee\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-av5vqf\">\n<p class=\"dcr-1xjndtj\">Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignup\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;newsletterId&quot;:&quot;today-us&quot;,&quot;successDescription&quot;:&quot;Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning&quot;}\"\/><span class=\"dcr-1eusqlu\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
