DENVER - Police in Colorado have cited a 37-year-old man for carrying
his computer into an alley then shooting it eight times with a handgun
after what authorities said had been a long battle with the
uncooperative machine.
Lucas Hinch was cited for discharging a
firearm within city limits after officers responded to a "shots fired"
call early on Monday evening, the Colorado Springs Police Department
said in a statement.
"Investigation revealed a resident was fed
up with fighting his computer for the last several months," said the
statement, entitled "Man Kills His Computer."
"He took the
computer into the back alley and fired eight shots into the computer
with a handgun, effectively disabling it," it added.
The Colorado
Springs Gazette newspaper cited police as saying Hinch was good-natured
about the citation, and that he told officers he had not realized he
was breaking the law.
