Prosecutors in Taiwan are seeking more than ten years in prison for a man who shot at a fellow camper's car, a case being treated as a serious threat to public safety.

• A man from Hsinchu was camping in Miaoli's Nanzhuang township when a woman asked him to quiet down late at night.
• The next morning he drove up to her car and fired three shots at its tire and fender with a modified handgun, then fled.
• Police arrested him two days later and recovered the illegal gun and 31 rounds of ammunition hidden under a bridge in Hsinchu County.
• Charges include illegal possession of a handgun and ammunition, firing a weapon in a public place, and property damage.

Outlook: The case now goes to trial, where prosecutors will push for the heavier sentence they say the danger to the public warrants.
