It's the "Dirty Harry" version of tech support. 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.
維修版《骯臟的哈里》日前在現實中上演。據警方透露，20日，科羅拉多州斯普林斯一名男子跟自己的電腦較勁了很久，還是沒能修好它，一怒之下用手槍朝它連開8槍，因此違反了市政法規。

Lucas Hinch, 37, was given a violation for discharging a weapon inside city limits, police said in a report titled, "Man Kills His Computer."

警方聲明稱，辛馳過去幾個月一直在跟他的電腦作斗爭，他簡直受夠了，于是在晚上快到7點的時候，在家后面的小巷里朝電腦開槍，“將它打得稀爛”。

Police public information officer Lt. Catherine Buckley said he shot the old Dell desktop machine with a Hi-Point 9 mm pistol.
警方負責公共信息的長官凱瑟琳·巴克利中尉稱，男子槍擊這臺老款戴爾臺式機時，用的是半自動9毫米口徑手槍。

"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.
