DETROIT -- Police say a man shot himself in the foot Tuesday morning, after he threw a shoe at a cockroach, according to WDIV 4.

The 50-year-man apparently saw the bug from across the room and took off his shoe to throw it at the nuisance. His revolver however, was still inside the shoe and discharged after hitting the ground. The fired bullet came back and struck the man in his foot.

The man -- who uses a wheelchair -- was inside of a home in the 18700 block of Albion Street at the time of the accident. His condition is unknown as of Tuesday morning.
