A man has accidentally shot himself after he threw his gun at a cockroach in an attempt to kill it.
The unnamed 50-year-old man told police in Detroit, Michigan that he tried to kill the pest on Tuesday morning by throwing a shoe at it, but a revolver hidden inside the shoe went off and sent a bullet flying in his direction.
The man threw his sneaker at the cockroach and the gun in it fell out and fired, striking him in the foot.
