(WHTM) \u2013 A Susquehanna Township father says he had no choice but to shoot and kill a dog to stop its vicious attack on his 4-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Wynton Williams was walking with his wife and daughter Olivia in the High Pointe Club Apartments on Thursday when the loose dog growled and then lunged at the girl, grabbed her by the neck, and dragged her into a mulch bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and my wife started to kick and punch the dog to try to get him to release, but he wouldn\u2019t release,\u201d Williams said. \u201cHe took her further into the mulch bed, at which point I grabbed his upper jaw, and as I grabbed his jaw, he released from my daughter\u2019s neck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams desperately wrested the dog, screaming for help. A friend handed him a gun and he fired one shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got up. The dog kept moving. I put another shot in. As I thought it was over, the dog went to lunge again and I put two more shots. I put one in his chest and one in his head,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<p>Williams and his wife rushed their daughter to a hospital. Deep wounds to her neck required 30 to 40 stitches.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>1 \/ 0 \/ 0<br \/>\nThe rest of this horrific article may be read here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc27.com\/news\/local\/harrisburg\/dad-shoots-dog-attacking-daughter-4\/\">ABC 27<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ford Employee Fired For Self-Defense Shooting Rehired, Gets Back Pay<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By Megan Hickey<br \/>\nCHICAGO (CBS) \u2014 He was called a \u201cderanged gunman\u201d and charged with attempted murder for a South Side shooting, but after three long years, he\u2019s cleared his name and won his job back.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2016, then 50-year-old Ford employee Billy Cowart was charged for shooting off his gun in the United Auto Workers 551 parking lot. He struck two fellow union members \u2014 both in the leg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made it seem like I was this villain, I\u2019m shooting up the parking lot willy nilly. It didn\u2019t happen like that,\u201d Cowart said.<\/p>\n<p>He was fired from Ford, where he had worked for nearly two decades. He spent a year and a half on house arrest, depleted his savings, and says his reputation was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>And the legal process was slow, in part because his case was transferred from his original Cook County Judge Joseph Claps after Claps was caught on camera dropping a handgun on the floor in the courthouse last fall.<\/p>\n<p>The second judge reviewed the surveillance video from the night of the shooting and said the victim, who was intoxicated and seen sucker punching Cowart in the face, was clearly the aggressor.<\/p>\n<p>The judge ruled that Cowart was legally defending himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, here we are today, 12 counts all dismissed,\u201d said Cowart\u2019s attorney, Irena Stephanovski.<\/p>\n<p>Cowart had been exonerated but was still out of a job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFord didn\u2019t want to have anything to do with me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>So, he filed a grievance in January and finally won this week. An arbitrator ruled that Ford fired him without just cause and he should be reinstated with no loss of seniority and a year of back pay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 1 \/ 0<br \/>\nRead the rest of the article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.cbslocal.com\/2019\/06\/28\/ford-employee-fired-for-self-defense-shooting-rehired-gets-back-pay\/\">CBS Chicago<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Man shot after assaulting homeowner Friday night in Finley<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Camila Rios<br \/>\nFINLEY, WA &#8211; A man was shot after assaulting a homeowner around 9:45 p.m. on Friday night. <\/p>\n<p>Benton County Sheriff Deputies responded to the area of Dague Road and Bowles Road in Finley for a report of a physical disturbance.<\/p>\n<p>When deputies arrived they detained Cody Meyers.
