Those must be some nasty fire ants in his yard.

'Ant bite' turns out to be gunshot wound
Sun-News report

LAS CRUCES - What was thought to be an "ant bite" turned out to be a gunshot wound, according to sheriff's investigators.

Dona Ana County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of two gunshot sounds near the 450 block of Marquez Street, in Anthony, N.M., about 11:30 p.m. Friday

A 19 year-old witness said he had not realized he had been shot until the next morning when his father noticed bleeding in his right upper arm.

The victim was then taken to Memorial Medical Center where he was treated for a superficial gunshot wound and released the same day. The witness reportedly told investigators immediately following the shooting he thought he had been bit by a large ant.

The investigation remains ongoing.

I don't know. I've never been shot, but I have been bitten by fire ants, and it hurts like a *%^&*^*.

In all the times I was bitten in Alabama, it was a whole mess of them crawling up my legs, not just one. It sounds like a pretty lame excuse he thought would keep the cops from investigating.
