Man Shoots Armadillo, Bullet Hits Mother-In-Law

Mother's Day may be a little awkward for Larry McElroy next month.

Sheriff's deputies in Lee County, Georgia, said McElroy, 54, accidentally shot his mother-in-law with a 9mm pistol when he was trying to shoot an armadillo, WALB.com reports.

The armadillo died from the shot, but the bullet ricocheted off the animal, hit a fence and went into the back door of his mother-in-law's mobile home -- a distance of about 100 yards.

Then it went through the recliner where the 74-year-old woman was sitting and into her back, according to WFSB.com.

Carol Johnson, 74, was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover, according to KPTV.com.

Officials have not said whether McElroy faces any charges for the shooting.
