Two Deer Burst Into D.C. McDonald's

Fri Oct 25, 6:06 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - Customers at a McDonald's in the nation's capital got a shock Friday when two deer jumped through the restaurant window.

The animals shattered the glass around 11 a.m. and ran through the fast-food restaurant, about a mile and a half north of the Capitol.

When animal control officers arrived, one deer was trapped in the restaurant. The other had jumped back through the window and was found in an adjacent field.

Peggy Keller, chief of animal disease prevention with the District of Columbia Department of Health, said authorities didn't know where the deer came from.

"There are no really heavily wooded areas" nearby, Keller said. "But the area where one deer was hiding was fully able to support them — there was lots of vegetation, there was water."

Four customers suffered minor injuries. Both deer were severely injured and had to be euthanized. Crews searched the field for other deer, but none were found.

Keller said District animal control officers usually handle about 10 calls a year concerning deer.

Wonder if they were looking for some "grass" in the store like they had at that KFC recently???

I guess the deer ate something while they were inside.
