This is pretty messed up. Read his description of what happened.
Whiskey and guns are never a good thing.

Fitzsimons then asked the judge to excuse his language and apologized repeatedly for saying the words he was about to share. He said McGuigan said to him, "I am going to (expletive) kill you, you little (expletive)."
Fitzsimons alleged that McGuigan kept repeating the threat as the rifle was pointed at him "locked and loaded." Fitzsimons insisted that he shouted at McGuigan twice, "Stop! Put the weapon down," and that "the Australian" was holding him down.
Fitzsimons managed to grab his company-issued Glock 17 9mm pistol from his body armor and, fighting off Hoare with his other hand, shot McGuigan, he said. "I'm a trained soldier sir," he told the judge. "If anyone points a weapon at you ... to kill ... you respond."
Fitzsimons said he "made a decision in a split-second. Motioning with the gun for the courtroom, he said he "shot him twice in the chest ... I fired two rounds ... bang bang in his chest."
He shot McGuigan a third time in the face before wrestling with Hoare for the pistol, he said. Hoare died during the struggle for the Glock, he said. Fitzsimons said Hoare threatened him, "I am going to (expletive) kill you for killing my friend."
"I made a decision a decision -- I pulled the trigger," Fitzsimons told the presiding judge.
Fitzsimons said he does not remember if he shot two or three rounds into Hoare. "I know one was in the chest ... I think also in his neck or his face," Fitzsimons said
