shot up his girlfriend's car

339: Break-Up - This American Life

( the Bonnie Raitt song, "I Can't Make You Love Me.")
The song was written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin after they read this little article in the newspaper about a guy who'd gotten drunk and shot up his girlfriend's car. At his sentencing, he was asked if he learned any lessons from what he'd done. And he said, "Yes, you can't make a woman love you if she don't."

There are several meaning of 'shut up' but I do not know which one is fit for here.
Thanks in advance!

It's "shot up" (the past tense of "shoot"), not "shut up." Does that help?

"Shut up" has no relation whatsoever to "shot up."

Oh, I see, but still not clear. Could you paraphrase the word 'shoot up' here?
Thanks

Thans a lot! Just one more question please. Did he do that intentionally? For what? Because she does not love him, so he got angry?

Well, it certainly wasn't accidentally.
Presumably, but the the combination of alcohol and unrequited love produces all kinds of unpredictable, sometimes fatal, results.
