Man Shoots TV With Shotgun After Seeing Bristol Palin On Dancing With The Stars

Thursday, November 18, 2010 | Edit Post
A 67-year-old man from Wisconsin was arrested by police yesterday for shooting his TV because he was so enraged with Bristol Palin moving on in Dancing With The Stars.

Steven Cowan apparently told authorities that he felt Bristol was not a good dancer and was only on the show because of her famous mother, former presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

After Monday`s show when Bristol performed the Paso Doble with her partner Mark Ballas, Cowan got so angry that he fired at his TV set.

He apparently jumped up, swore at the TV and said something about 'the (expletive) politics'. He then got his shotgun and fired it into the TV.

He then aimed the gun at his wife but she managed to escape from the house unharmed.

The SWAT team surrounded his house after the shots were fired but negotiators managed to talk Cowan into surrendering early yesterday morning after a 15-hour stand off.

Authorities claim Cowan suffers from bipolar disorder and had been under stress of a financial situation and was receiving care from a mental health program.

He was charged with 2nd degree reckless endangerment and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
