humble3d Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Texas man shoots armadillo, gets hit in face by bullet ricochet DALLAS (Reuters) - An East 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 on Friday. Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, southwest of Texarkana, at around 3 a.m. on 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. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/texas-man-shoots-armadillo-gets-hit-face-bullet-214656503.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Gelatin Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Only an idiot would try to shoot one of our armadillos. They're tough as nails. Maybe said idiot will lose a little weight while his jaw is wired shut.Don't Mess With Texas. Especially our wildlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
