An Issaquah, Washington man apparently became frustrated with his personal computer, pulled out a gun and shot it. The computer, located in the man's home office, had four bullets holes in its hard drive and one in the monitor.

"We don't know if it wouldn't boot up or what," says one of the police officers at the scene. St. Petersburg Times - July 20, 1997
