Deer smashes through couple's bedroom window

A couple in Eagan, Minnesota woke up to a deer smashing through their bedroom window on Saturday morning. "The glass shattered, as the deer galloped across us in bed," Colleen Slattery said.

Slattery and her partner Beau Williams were sleeping in, and immediately thought a person was breaking into their first floor apartment. When they realized it was a wild animal, Slattery ran out of the bedroom, while Williams managed to lock the deer in the bathroom.



Neighbour Eric Tanttila shot video of two deer running through another apartment across the yard. One of them ran off, while the other ran towards Beau and Colleen's unit. The deer first tried smashing through their sliding glass door. When it failed, it went for another window, then another, when it shattered.

The injured deer left the bathroom looking like a gruesome murder scene, with blood covering the walls, floor, and sink. Eagan Police, Animal Control and the Minnesota DNR responded. Crews managed to free the deer, without anyone getting hurt. Police said the deer ran back to the Minnesota River, where it probably came from.
