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."

it occurs to me that the one agency i wouldn't mind DOGE tearing through would be the #ATF, but thanks to #NRA lobbyists and republican pandering they're still on microfiche last i heard. the republicans blocked #NIH funding into gun violence for decades. there's probably mountains of crimes in the ATF records room and nobody cares enough to start scanning film because they're told not to.

One thing I agree with Reagan on. He said this after the 89 Stockton school shooting. We are still talking and not acting to ban assault weapons.

" I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home."

Ronald Reagan

The topic of US school shootings is depressing and this information more so.
