In a split second it s over, bhe stops the car, but the deer is nowhere in sight. Shaken, she drives the rest of the way home, tearfully relating the incident to her husband.

It could have been so much worse, he tells her. The damage can be fixed, and she wasn’t hurt. Take it easy, it's over.

Not quite.

The next day, as he heads to work, her husband sees the injured deer half-standing in a creek bed below the road. It’s just a baby, he notes.

Upset over this aspect of the accident, he calls his father, who lives nearby, asking what to do. The animal is clearly suffering.

Animal control is called and the situation is explained to a sympathetic dispatcher. A deputy sheriff quickly arrives in the area, and with the help of the father, locates the deer.

It has dragged itself away from the road, and is sitting upright behind a board fence, its back to the men. It's looking around, frightened and in pain. What happens next is up to the officer, so the family member gratefully departs.

Minutes later, as he examines his daughter-inlaw's damaged vehicle, a gunshot rings out, echoing through the neighborhood.

Now, it's really over.

Or is it?
