In response to the Post’s 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 – but he lied about the self-inflicted shooting to conceal the fact that he may have obtained the bullet wound during friendly fire that he endured while fighting in Afghanistan.

(same article)

Sheehy's 'excuse for lying' doesn't make any sense -- the military would certainly have records of him being shot in the arm. He should have just blamed it on one of his kids -- you know, WWTCD (What Would Ted Cruz Do)!
