 It was an incident that forced people to scratch their heads.

A bizarre incident in America put people in power a few years ago. Here a man fired a shot to kill an animal that looked like a rat, but instead of hitting the animal, the bullet touched his mother-in-law and escaped. The incident took place in Georgia, USA and the animal that was tried to be killed is called Armadillo. If the bullet was slightly left or right, the woman could have been hit. The animal was described as having a "bullet proof" body that day. Now, once again, it remains a topic of discussion on social media.

People disturbed by a strange incident

According to the incident in Lee County, Georgia, Larry McLarey, 54, fired at Armadillo with his 9mm pistol. The animal died from being shot, but the bullet bounced and hit the wall first.

The bullet then hit the back door of McLarey's mother-in-law's house and then passed through a sofa and hit her on the back. It was an incident that forced people to scratch their heads.

However, different media reports said different things. Experts were shocked by the incident and at the same time they were also amazed at how this animal can die once it is shot. 

The officer spoke  an extraordinary event

Bill Smith, who is investigating the incident, said that the circumstances were such that it had become an extraordinary event. The incident took place at midnight. McLarey was reportedly about 100 yards from home.

After the incident, his 74-year-old mother-in-law Carol Johnson was thanking God that she was not seriously injured in the incident.

Smith stated that she was walking and talking at the time of the shooting. He does not appear to be seriously injured. His family members rushed him to the hospital after the incident. Armadillo was advised to shoot by James Morgan, co-ordinator of the Dugherty County Extension. 

What happens to Armadillo?

However, he also asked them to use traps to catch the animal. He says that just shooting is the last option to get rid of Armadillo.

According to the authorities, shotguns can also be used to avoid what happened. This reduces the risk of damage.

He also advised people to stay safe. The armadillo is actually a rat-like animal. Armadillo's skin is no less than an armor. It is very fast and he uses it to dig the ground.

They have short legs but can still run very fast. Armadillo averages about 30 inches or 75 centimeters in length. A giant armadillo can be about 59 inches or 150 centimeters long. It weighs about 54 kilograms.
