Details after anger police shoot deer dead over ‘danger’ in Sheffield school grounds

After invading a primary school’s premises and “posing a danger to staff and pupils,” a huge deer was shot dead by police marksmen.

Stunned drivers in Sheffield saw the stag prancing beside a busy major road adjacent to a housing estate on Monday morning (November 11). Later, the pack animal was seen in the Batemoor and Jordanthorpe districts, where onlookers reported that it nearly got struck by a car.

Police were deployed when the deer made its way onto the grounds of Greenhill Primary School, in the South of the city, over fears pupils could be in “danger”. Armed officers later decided to shoot the stag after a vet said a tranquiliser “would not take effect immediately.”
