FRUSTRATED MAN SHOOTS COMPUTER

ISSAQUAH, Washington -- A man was coaxed out of his home by police after
he pulled a gun and shot his personal computer, apparently in
frustration. 
   "We don't know if it wouldn't boot up or what,"  Sgt. Keith Moon said
Thursday.
   The computer, in a home office on the second floor of the townhouse,
had four bullet holes in the hard drive and one in the monitor.
   One bullet struck a filing cabinet, while another made it through a
wall and into a neighboring unit.  No one was hurt.
   Police evacuated the complex, contacted the 43-year-old man by
telephone and got him to come out.  He was taken to a hospital for a
mental evaluation.
