Animal's status unknown because authorities were unable to find it A Texas man was wounded after he fired a gun at an armadillo in his yard and the bullet ricocheted back to hit him in his face, the county sheriff said Friday. Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, Texas, at around 3 a.m. local time Thursday morning. He spotted the armadillo on his property and opened fire. "His wife was in the house. He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Rowe said. The animal's hard shell deflected at least one of three bullets, which then struck the man's jaw, he said. The man was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where his jaw was wired shut, according to Rowe. The status of the animal is unknown. "We didn't find the armadillo," the sheriff said. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread

And according to the Houston Chronicle: This is the second case of an armadillo-shooting backfiring this year. In April, a Georgia man fired on an armadillo and the bullet deflected back into his mother-in-law. After hitting the mammal’s hard shell, the bullet passed through a fence and through the back door of the mother’s mobile home. The shot hit the 74-year-old woman while she sat in a recliner, the man told sheriff's deputies. She faced non-life-threatening injuries. The armadillo did not survive the blast, but still managed to teach a good lesson on why you shouldn’t shoot the armored animal.

"... the bullet passed through a fence and through the back door of the mother’s mobile home." Yep. Whenever I target practice, I find that a mobile home makes a good backdrop.
