When the police arrived at her home, they found her on the couch while a deer ran around the living room. Deputy Kukelhan was on the scene and shielded the elderly women from getting attacked by the deer until his colleagues, Corporal Patrick Piper and Officer Reid Arnold, could help her out of the house, the police shared in their Facebook statement.

Sgt. Kevin Gerber told the Associated Press that the woman “wasn’t injured and remained amazingly calm throughout the terrifying ordeal.”

After the woman was safely out of the house, the officers worked to remove the deer from the premises.

The police department shared images from the scene, including a picture of two of the deer hiding out in her bathroom and the three officers tackling one of the deer.

The Associated Press reported that the woman is uninjured from the incident, though her apartment was badly damaged.

“Two deer had to be tranquilized and helped off the property,” police said. “Great job to all officers and personnel involved!”
