Wildlife Officials Search For Explanation
UPDATED: 8:32 a.m. EDT June 28, 2002
MARION, Ohio -- James Warren has played the scenario over and over in his mind, trying to come up with an explanation as to why he was attacked by a deer while pumping gasoline.
"I'm not sure why it wanted me anyway," Warren said. "It was pretty scary."
It was 10 p.m. when Warren, 26 (pictured, left), pulled into a BP station, he told a Columbus television station.
He was planning a trip to Cedar Point the next morning, so he wanted to check the oil in his car. Then he said that he heard something running. He looked up and saw the deer charging at him from 15 feet away.
"His antler struck my elbow right there on my funny bone," Warren said. "But he would have killed me if I wouldn't have ducked. His antler would have gone right through my head." [/quoteurl]
