This is ridiculous. The bullethole isn't even where it would need to be to hit the HDD. It appears to have punctured the top of the case, then maybe gone through the CD/DVD drive at the top of the drive subsystem, and then probably into the power supply. The HDD appears to have been below the CD/DVD drive. To hit that, the bullet would need to be Arlen-Specter powered. So, they might use this as an excuse to get a new PC, but they wouldn't have to get a new HDD (unless they wanted to...which is possible, both for hypothetical nefarious reasons as well as hypothetical mundane ones).
What's even weirder is that to hit the computer after shooting the lock, the gun would have had to be held near or even over Welch's head and aimed down at the lock. WTF???
