Man, 50, accused of blasting computer to bytes at UA lab

Not even the information superhighway is safe.
Yesterday afternoon, John Culver Mead was at a University of Arizona computer lab when he tried out a unique form of data entry…he fired several shots at a computer, blasting it to bits, according to UA police. The unidentified computer went from on-line to flat-line at 3: 10 p.m. when UA Police Department responded to a 911 call that shots were fired at the Computer Lab.
Police don't know what kind of computer Mead was working on. But one thing is for sure…
it wasn't user friendly.
