WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 19 (UPI) -- A deer was tranquilized and captured Monday after crashing into a building on the Purdue University campus in Indiana, police said.

The 100-pound male deer apparently had jumped six feet down into a window well above a downstairs hallway connecting Lilly Hall and Life Science Plants and Soils Laboratory, the Lafayette Journal and Courier reported.

Police were called about 8:10 a.m. and anesthesiologists shot the deer with tranquilizers about 9 a.m. The animal broke through the window into the building where it was finally subdued, the newspaper said.

The deer suffered head and leg cuts but apparently no broken bones and animal control officers planned to release it back into the wild once it recovered, the newspaper said.
