A Georgia man shot his mother-in-law in a freak accident after a bullet he fired at an armadillo ricocheted off the creature's back.

Larry McElroy, 54, was outside 74-year-old Carol Johnson's mobile home in Lee County on Sunday night when he took aim with his 9-mm pistol at the animal, WALB reported.

The critter was killed by the round.

But the projectile bounced back off its armor, hit a fence and traveled 100 yards to fly through the back door of the property, police said.

Pulling a shot like that off once is pretty fricking awesome. Doing it twice... now that's hall of fame material right there.

That's weird, even a .22 will usually go right through.

I was driving down I-95 at 90 mph on the way to Key West a few years ago in my pals Hyundai Sonata. It was round 1 a.m. Armadillo comes waltzing across the highway and right before i hit it the armadillo popped into a ball. It was like a good pop on a pinball machine. The thing had to have flown 65 yards into the pine trees. I'll never forget that.

As a kid I would shot them all the time with a decent air rifle. I don't recall having any bounce off.
