Wild Deer Runs Rampant at LU

A wild deer caused a stir around Longwood University’s campus on March 12. The deer was primarily seen at Ruffner Hall near the Blackwell Hall entrance and Crafts House.

According to a Longwood University Police Department (LUPD) report, a student reported that the deer was injured around 4:30 p.m. The of- ficer on scene said the deer appeared to be trying to escape but was unable to do so due to a group of students surrounding it.

Around 4:42 p.m., the deer left campus and headed toward St. George Street. The officer on duty reported that there was no damage to the buildings the deer was near.
