In today's news, a wolf was found dead along Lake Superior in Minnesota. An autopsy was done and a pellet from a pellet gun was found that caused death.
It penetrated between ribs, if it hit a rib it would have been stopped presumably.
Since it is legal on Tribal land where it was found, to drive a wolf off, it is presumed that someone shot it with a pellet gun to chase it away. I don't think anyone would attempt to kill a wolf with a pellet gun, but be careful what you shoot, even with a pellet gun.
The wolf may have had a radio collar, it had crossed the ice from Isle Royal.
A gun safety reminder too. Fluke kills happen. Do not point even a pellet gun at something you do not want to kill.
