Police officers responding to a home invasion in Texas came face to face with a rather unusual suspect.
The alarm was raised on Thursday by a homeowner in Lufkin, Texas who had heard glass breaking and, assuming that she was being burgled, dialed 911 before quickly hiding in a closet.
Concerned for her wellbeing, police officers descended on the house within minutes.
Armed with riot shields and firearms, the men stormed in through a broken window at the front of the house shouting "Police! Let me see your hands!"
As it turned out however, the "burglar" was actually nothing more than a frightened deer.
Footage of the entire incident, which was later uploaded to Facebook, can be viewed below.
Being that home invasion is a nightmare (and thankfully very rare, despite what organizations like the NRA tell you) event, this person is lucky. I wouldn't want to have to file that insurance claim, though.
