Deer Shot with Taser by Police

Toronto Police used a Taser to subdue a deer that was found wandering downtown this morning.

According to this CP24 report, "The deer had been sitting in a garden near Bay Street and University Avenue [sic] for several hours before police moved in to tranquilize and move the animal."

The deer was initially shot with a tranquilizer gun around 11:15 a.m. at Chestnut and Edward streets. But the scene became rather involved after members of Toronto's animal services department were joined by police (including the Emergency Task Force) on the takedown, possibly making matters worse for the deer. It ended up getting tasered.
