Cops in Lee County, Georgia, said 54-year-old McElroy killed the animal with the shot, but the bullet ricocheted.

 

After hitting the creature’s armour, the round hit a fence, went through the back door of his mother-in-law’s mobile home, through a recliner she was sitting in, and into her back.

 

McElroy was reportedly about 100 yards away from the home at the time.

 

His mother-in-law, 74-year-old Carol Johnson was taken to the hospital, but was expected to be okay.
