Video Shows Deer On The Loose In Georgia Grocery Store

Oh, deer!

Georgia grocery shoppers got an unexpected surprise when a woodland creature made its way into a South Fulton Publix store, south of Atlanta.

It happened at the Cascade Road location on Monday (June 7).

And, of course, the runaway deer that caused a frenzy was captured on video, which was shared with Fox 5 Atlanta.

One of the shoppers described the "shocking" moment to the news station.

"It was just shocking, like why is there a deer inside of a grocery store?" Adrianne Dowdy, who stood in line at the deli counter when it happened, told Fox 5 Atlanta. "Initially, people were freaking out, people were running, like nobody wants to get run over by a deer…Next thing you know, it was running in my direction so I ran to the side…This is Atlanta, so how did a deer get over here, you know? I didn’t think it was a woody area.”

Luckily, South Fulton Fire & Rescue crews responded and managed to shoo the deer from the store — with the help of barricaded shopping carts — within 10 to 15 minutes. Publix spokespeople haven't commented publicly on its unusual customer as of midday Wednesday (June 9).
