But surveillance video helped shed some light on what actually happened.<\/p>\n<p>From the headlines it seemed pretty cut and dry.<\/p>\n<p>Then 50-year-old Ford employee Billy Cowart was charged with attempted murder for shooting off his gun in the United Auto Workers 551 parking lot in June 2016. He struck two fellow union members, both in the leg.<\/p>\n<p>And within a matter of days Cowart was suspended and then terminated from his job with Ford where he had worked for nearly two decades.<\/p>\n<p>But Cowart, a veteran with extensive combat training and a licensed CCW holder, said he pleaded with Ford and the union to understand that this was a clear case of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>The union here basically said, \u2018You got what you deserved. Deal with it,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI was crucified before the trial. I was the villain. I was the mad employee.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 2 \/0<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the story may be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.cbslocal.com\/2019\/02\/10\/for-employee-shoots-coworkers-self-defense-chicago\/\">Chicago CBS News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seems to me some range time is in order, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes.
