Police say Moscow man shot computer, phone

MOSCOW (AP) - A Moscow man has been taken into protective custody after reportedly making suicidal threats on social media and allegedly shooting his laptop and cellphone with a 9mm handgun.

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports police became aware of the man's social media activity Friday night and found him at a home around 1 a.m. Saturday.

Police say they heard noises from outside the home that sounded like a suppressed airsoft pistol going off. The man came outside holding a weapon and complied with police when they asked him to drop it.

He was taken into protective custody and transported to Gritman Medical Center for mental health evaluation.
