美国男子向电脑怒开8枪
A Colorado Springs man was hit with a municipal violation after he ended a long-running battle with an uncooperative computer by blasting it eight times with a handgun Monday, police said.
据警方透露，20日，科罗拉多州斯普林斯一名男子跟自己的电脑较劲了很久，还是没能修好它，一怒之下用手枪朝它连开8枪，因此违反了市政法规。
Lucas Hinch, 37, was given a violation for discharging a weapon inside city limits, police said in a report titled, "Man Kills His Computer."
The police report said that Hinch "was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months" and shot it in a back alley behind his home just before 7 p.m., "effectively disabling it."
Police public information officer Lt. Catherine Buckley said he shot the old Dell desktop machine with a Hi-Point 9 mm pistol.
"He did tell us he thought it was okay because we are an open carry state," Buckley said. But it is illegal in the city limits to discharge a firearm unless one is protecting life or property, she said. The violation would most likely result in a fine, Buckley said.
The police department posted a photo of the blasted machine on its Twitter and Facebook pages.
