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.
科羅拉多警方傳喚一名37歲男子，當局說，因他和一台不合作的機器長期奮戰後，就把他的電腦帶入一條巷子，然後持手槍對它開了8槍。
Lucas Hinch was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits after officers responded to a "shots fired" call, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement.
科羅拉多泉市警察局在一份聲明中表示，警方應變處理一通「槍擊」電話後，盧卡斯‧欣奇即因在市內開槍而被傳喚。
"Investigation revealed a resident was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months," said the statement, entitled "Man Kills His Computer."
名為「男子殺死他的電腦」之聲明說：「調查顯示，一位居民為過去數月來和他的電腦奮戰而感到厭煩。」
"He took the computer into the back alley and fired eight shots into the computer with a handgun, effectively disabling it," it added.
它補充道：「他把電腦帶進暗巷，持手槍朝電腦開了8槍，有效地癱瘓了它。」
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.
《科羅拉多泉公報》引述警方說法表示，欣奇對該傳喚態度和善，而且他告訴警官，他不知道自己觸法。
