A man from Texas has been wounded after a bullet he fired at an armadillo ricocheted and hit him in the head, the local sheriff says.

The shooting incident took place in the Marietta area of East Texas.

 

Three shots were fired and at least one ricocheted off the shell.

 

The gunman was treated for a minor injury to the jaw, but the small armoured creature has not been found and its fate remains unclear.

 

Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe told Reuters that the shooter opened fire in the early hours of Thursday morning when he spotted the armadillo on his property.

 

"He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Mr Rowe said.
