Assaulted at work but employer fired both of us?

I live in indiana, me and this other hothead got hired on and I’ve been working for 6 months him 4 years no complaints about me but numerous about him. Saturday night he got in my face and pushed me because of a pallet, I didn’t do anything back to him I informed a supervisor. 

Monday the warehouse supervisor gets both our stories and determines that even though I’m the victim and never put my hands on the other person and there was a witness that saw him push me, he determined we both started an altercation and let us both go today on Tuesday after our shifts. 

Is this right? Fired for being a victim and reporting it? What can I do if anything

    If this is 100% true then I would assume somekind of a relationship between the other hot head and the warehouse supervisor. Report and appeal the situation to HR. If there is no HR department, report it to higher up management. No guarantee but that might be your best option.
