KAUKUANA, Wis. (AP) - Some residents in an assisted living complex had quite a surprise when a deer jumped through the window. A witness told police a black dog was chasing six to seven deer when a deer jumped through a resident's closed window at St. Paul Home Friday afternoon.

 

"All of a sudden I hear all this glass break and there's a deer standing about three, four feet away from me, and I just, I've never screamed so loud in my life," nursing assistant Dana Hagglund said.

 

Laura Marquardt, a certified nursing assistant at the care facility, said no one was injury.

 

The deer ran down a hall and into one of the home's shower rooms, where it was corralled until tenants in the area were moved to safety, Marquardt said.

 

The deer then was steered toward an open patio door, where it made its escape.

 

Marquardt said she was unsure whether it was the same deer or a second deer that later ran across the patio and broke a second window but did not gain entry.

 

 

:lol:

Deer running into glassed inside areas does occur in the Midwest on ocassion. One ran into the University of Iowa main Library while I was atending there. I always worry more about the deer getting hurt than the people (although in an assisted living facility they may not be able to get out of the way so well), since the deer is usually confused and stressed - but that's just me.... :lol: It is their neighborhood too.

Ah, yes. Good old Kaukauna, a town i've had the pleasure of visiting many times. This isn't that uncommon in that area. In Milwaukee, where i live, I have witnessed this type of thing close to a dozen times. Last time, was when i was 13 and after the deer got injured, a guy pulled his shotgun out of his truck and capped his future dinner right there. That same guy continued to gut out the deer with an enormous hunting knife. Most people here are quite acclimated to this type of thing. I only hope none of the disabled people living in the St. Paul Home were injured .
