Texas Man Hit by Ricocheting Bullet After Shooting Armadillo: Police say an East Texas man 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 directly in the jaw.
Good grief, I hope he’s gonna be alright - the armadillo that is. Do you suppose there’s a possibility alcohol might have been involved? After all, it’s fairly common knowledge, that armadillos can get rather nasty when they’re drinking.
In fact, word has it the armadillo had been taunting him with things like "do you feel lucky punk?” Police say the man claimed he shot in self-defense, but authorities have determined the armadillo - was not armed.
When asked what the hell could he have been thinking - shooting at a defenseless armadillo, but the man would only say that about the only thing that was going through his head at the time - was the ricocheted bullet. Not surprisingly, former Vice President Dick Cheney has asked him if he’d like to go hunting after he recovers.
