This is so fricking lame on so many levels. I was in wilderness during that time. Think I am gonna have to wear a flak jacket out there. That is two shootings out there in less than a year.
Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputies took a report of a deer being shot from the road Sunday afternoon at Wilderness Park.
Two witnesses saw it happen shortly before 4:30 p.m. near First and Calvert streets. When deputies arrived, they saw a white-tailed deer, southeast of the intersection, trying to crawl away.
One of the deputies shot the deer.
Witnesses said they saw two men wearing orange hunting jackets in a green ’90s model, short-box Chevrolet truck at the intersection. The driver leaned out of the pickup window and shot the deer with a long rifle, according to an incident report.
Then the truck sped away.
The sheriff’s office has no suspects.
