ABC 13: Man accidentally shot self in foot while attempting to kill cockroach

3/9/25

"DETROIT (WKRC) - A man accidentally shot himself in the foot while trying to kill a cockroach in an unlucky and unfortunate series of events.

Police said that the victim, a 50-year-old man who uses a wheelchair, was attempting to kill a cockroach with his shoe.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot."

Does anyone have a #cockroach trap recommendation? We've got indoor cats so I don't want to put bait out. It would be better for it to be a sticky trap or similar.

Now I'm wondering if we've got cockroaches that we've never seen any evidence of.

That could explain that high blood reading?
