This sounds suspiciously like a 9mm falling from a coffee table in a thread the long term members may remember.
How does one hide a gun in a shoe? Half a foot amputated leaving a “space”?

Ok, I'll bite.

How do you "hide" a revolver in a shoe that's on your foot?

I need to know what kind of revolver. Unless it was a cheap piece of junk of some kind, or was cocked I'm having trouble with it going off from being dropped. Some things about this story don't pass the sniff test.

Hard to find info. One of the other articles said this:

Report: Detroit man accidentally shoots his foot aiming for a cockroach
DeJanay Booth
Detroit Free Press
A Detroit man admits that he accidentally shot himself in the foot early Tuesday morning in the 18700 block of Albion Street.

But did it happen after aiming for a cockroach?

A report by WDIV-TV stated that the 50-year-old was attempting to kill the bug, throwing his shoe at it with the gun inside when it discharged.

Detroit police officials told the Free Press that they could not confirm if the accidental, non-fatal shooting was because of a bug, but said the man was in stable condition after he was taken to a hospital.

It is not the first time someone reportedly went to extreme measure to take out an insect.
