KS-SEN: FBI recovers ammo that went missing after Kobach left secretary of state's office .

The FBI dropped off 218 rounds of ammunition for a handgun at the Kansas Secretary of State’s office Thursday morning after conducting an investigation into bullets that went missing after Kris Kobach’s departure from the office.

Kobach’s GOP successor, Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab, requested the inquiry in July when his staff realized that 1,000 rounds of Winchester 9mm Luger ammunition were unaccounted for. It was purchased with taxpayer funds by the office in 2017 during Kobach’s tenure.

“It didn’t seem appropriate to have ammunition unaccounted for, especially when purchased with state funds,” Schwab said in a news release Friday. “We’re grateful for the help of law enforcement to ensure the ammunition was located and returned in a timely and safe manner.”


No state or federal office would immediately say Thursday night what happened to the remaining 782 rounds.
