Two Deer Decide to Drop Into Kan. School
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) - Students at Frances Willard Elementary School in Arkansas City got some real-life education about wildlife Wednesday, when two deer crashed through classroom windows.
The first deer jumped through a window into an occupied fifth-grade classroom, Principal Jeff Shearon said.
The teacher quickly ushered the students from the room. As they were following the school's fire-drill procedure, they found a second deer in the hallway. That deer had jumped into the building through a window in an unoccupied room, Shearon said.
Students and teachers stayed in classrooms until both deer left the building — one through another window and one through a glass door.
No one was hurt.

Deer Lands in Drama Section at Video Store
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A movie rental store in southern Indiana had an unexpected shopper when a young deer charged through a plate glass window, landing in the store's drama section.
Shocked customers watched Wednesday as the deer bolted around the edges of the store, kicking displays and knocking videos off shelves.
Mike Sulawske, who had been shopping in a nearby store, came to see what was happening at the video shop. He propped open the back door and attempted to back the deer into a corner, hoping he could shove the animal out. But it didn't go willingly, he said.
The now bloody-nosed deer, which appeared to be a young buck about 3-feet tall with small antlers, charged Sulawske, he said.
Then the deer broke through an even larger glass window before police arrived.
Evansville police said the deer was last seen running south along a city street, leaping over cars.
Officer Greg Brandenstein said he has heard similar animal stories from other communities.
"It doesn't happen every day," he said. "But it does happen. When an animal is trapped inside a store, it often gets spooked by people and tries to run through a window. They see the reflection and think they can go right on through it."
