美國男子開8槍“殺電腦”

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《骯髒的哈里》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."
當地警方在標題爲“男子殺死電腦”的聲明中表示，現年37歲的盧卡斯·辛馳違規在市區範圍內使用武器。

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."
警方聲明稱，辛馳過去幾個月一直在跟他的電腦作鬥爭，他簡直受夠了，於是在晚上快到7點的時候，在家後面的小巷裏朝電腦開槍，“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.
巴克利稱，“他告訴我們，他以爲在本州公開佩槍是合法的。”但在本市範圍內開槍是違法的，除非當事人是爲了保護人身或財產安全，她說。巴克利透露，辛馳很有可能因他的不當行爲而被罰款。

The police department posted a photo of the blasted machine on its Twitter and Facebook pages.
警方在其推特和臉書主頁上貼出了被打爛的電腦的照片。
