Texas Man Hit by Ricocheting Bullet After Shooting Armadillo

Texas Man Hit by Ricocheting Bullet After Shooting Armadillo: Police say an East Texas man who spotted an armadillo on his property, grabbed his .38 revolver and opened fire on the animal, but one of the three bullets ricocheted back and struck him right in the jaw.

Gee, I sure hope he’s OK - the armadillo that is. Wonder if alcohol was involved? I hear armadillos can get nasty when they’re drinking. The armadillo was like “do you feel lucky punk?”

The man told police he shot in self defense, but authorities say the armadillo was not armed. When asked what he could have been thinking shooting at such a defenseless animal, the guy said about the only thing going through his head at the time was the bullet. After he fully recovers, Dick Cheney reportedly offered to take him hunting.

If you ask me, this whole incident is starting to sound a lot like Karmadillo. I suppose if there’s anything positive coming out of all this, it would be that at least the poor half-wit didn’t have to fork-over $55,000 for the privilege of shooting the armadillo.
