Man accidentally shoots himself after throwing gun at cockroach to kill it

A man accidentally shot himself after he threw his gun at a cockroach in an attempt to squash the insect. The unnamed 50-year-old man told police in Detroit, US that he tried to kill the bug by throwing a shoe at it, only for a revolver hidden inside to go off and send a bullet flying in his direction. The man’s gun fell out and fired, striking him in the foot. Authorities said the man was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition following the incident. It is unclear whether he ended up successfully squashing the cockroach or not. This is not the first time that Detroit has seen an injury caused by someone who went to extreme lengths to kill an insect. Two years ago, a man was badly burned after he tried to light bedbugs on fire in his apartment. He doused his infested furniture with alcohol and lit a cigarette, which he used to try to burn one of the tiny bugs, but he ended up burning the couch and himself.
