MOORHEAD, Minn. — A wild video shows the moment a confused and startled deer crashed through a glass door into a butcher shop.
The video, shared by She Said Butcher Shop on Facebook, was posted on Jan. 7. The video’s caption said, “it was a pretty terrifying experience overall.” In the video, a deer crashes through the glass in the store’s front door and crashes into the wall at the back of the store. The deer then gets up and breaks a window and knocks several things over before running back out.
“Just still kind of in shock and awe, like what in the world, how does that just happen?” Melissa Evans, the store’s owner, told KVLY.
“I am thankful because it could have been so much worse, not only with damages but potentially could have seriously hurt someone,” the store said in its Facebook post. “I hope that the deer is ok and back telling the story to her friends about the crazy experience she had today escaping the butcher.”
Evans had been working in the back of the store with her daughter when the deer broke in and told KVLY that she initially believed a pot had fallen down.
“When I came around the corner the deer was the last thing I would have imagined. It was chaos, to say the least,” Evans told the station. “Just complete pandemonium. My kid is screaming, ‘Why is there a deer in here? Why is there a deer in here?’”
The store was forced to close because of the damage. Evans hopes to reopen Monday, WCCO reported.
