Authorities say a south Georgia man shot an armadillo, but ended up accidentally wounding his mother-in-law when the bullet ricocheted off the mammal known for its hard shell.

Lee County Sheriff's deputies tell WALB-TV that 54-year-old Larry McElroy fired his 9mm pistol at the armadillo Sunday night.

Deputies say the bullet killed the armadillo, but bounced off the animal, hit a fence, traveled through the back door of the mother-in-law's mobile home and the recliner in which she was sitting, striking her in the back.




1. Why would you shoot an armadillo
2. Why would it be bad if your mother in law got hit with a bullet

1. They're bad for your lawn & they taste good
2. If she lives, she'll never let you live it down, If she dies, the wife & kids will never let you live it down

But he'll probably be the envy of all the other married guys at work if number 2 happened.

Yeah, It'd be just like that scene in The Odd Couple, when their poker buddies call them "Happy Bachelors" & walk out, leaving Felix & Oscar alone, depressed & stuck with each other...

1. You may think an armadillo may taste good, but . . .?! Please! Please! Never eat one. They are carriers of leprosy, and one of the ways you can catch leprosy from an armadillo, besides handling them, is eating them.

2. Who says he was aiming at the armadillo. He might have been a bad shot or drunk or both and was aiming at his mother-in-law, when the bullet's ricochet hit the armadillo and then his mother-in-law.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I don't think the form of leprosy that some armadillos carry is contagious to humans.

Well, I'm just getting the eating thing from what I read in the novel Alas Babylon, & having spent a few years in Houston, I know you don't want 'em getting in your lawn or under your house...
