WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Senate candidate and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has reported that he had four guns stolen from his pickup truck parked at a Wichita hotel over the weekend. Wichita police say officers responded to a call from Kobach around 11:30 a.m. Saturday at a hotel parking garage.

Police say someone broke into the pickup overnight and stole a rifle, two shotguns and a handgun. A spokeswoman for Kobach's campaign says he was in Wichita for a campaign event and had the long guns with him for a scheduled shooting event.

Campaign spokeswoman Danedri Herbert said Kobach also “always has at least one firearm with him for personal protection.”
