Alabama Ford dealer ends Fourth of July gun, Bible deal after Morgan Hill shooting

Published July 1, 2019 12:03 PM

An Alabama Ford dealership has ended a Fourth of July promotion that gifted a Bible, American flag and gift certificate for a 12-gauge shotgun to anyone who bought a new or used vehicle.

News outlets there report that Ford Motor Co. told Ford Chatom that the promotion was inappropriate after a worker fired from The Ford Store in Morgan Hill killed two employees Tuesday before killing himself.

The dealership’s general manager, Colin Ward, says he is disappointed the automaker requested they end the promotion, but the dealership is fulfilling any commitments it already made.

A Ford Motor Co. spokesman says the company was not involved in the local promotion.
