Lucas Hinch was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits after officers responded to a "shots fired" call early on Monday evening, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement.

Probably so full of spyware it wouldn't load anything.
There's free programs for that, Malwarebytes.

We took a couple of really old, and heavy, TV’s out to the desert and 8 of us let loose with .30 caliber carbine, .30-40 Kray, 12 gauge double barrel, .45 auto, .45-70 trap-door Springfield and some .22 rifles and revolvers. Those glass lens are over 6 inches thick, but no match for real fire power...not much left!!
