54-year-old Larry McElroy, of Leesburg, Georgia, shot an armadillo with his 9mm handgun while standing outside his mobile home.
The bullet ricocheted off the animal's armor, went through the back door of the mobile home and into the back of a recliner where McElroy's mother-in-law was sitting.
74-year-old Carol Johnson was struck in the back. She was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
"The whole situation was unusual," said the county sheriff.
Residents are allowed to shoot armadillos as a way to get rid of them and McElroy will not be charged for the shooting.
Thanks for the post. People who are really concerned about their safety and the safety of their loved ones must take care of the guns and firearms that they are having at home especially when the children are they are really dangerous in case not handled with care.
