SWAT Team to ambush deer in New York

With increasingly large populations of deer running around a small town in upper New York State, city leaders are turning to a novel measure to control the white-tailed menace. They have dropped a dime and are calling in the local SWAT team to put out a hit on bambi.

Nestled inside Niagara County, New York (near the famous waterfalls of the same name) is the city of North Tonawanda. With a population of about 30,000, it’s a small metropolitan area surrounded by dense forests. These woods were so thick at one point that North Tonawanda was known as the “Lumber City” due to the amount of trees that were felled and passed through the area.

It’s served by a small police force, the NTPD, that has a capable SWAT unit.

Which is good because the city is currently under siege
