A Long Shot: Deer Sighting in Atlantic City

A city known for gambling was dealt a rare hand Friday morning.  Atlantic City residents spotted a deer running around their neighborhood.

Police said a very large white-tailed buck was spotted in the Chelsea Heights neighborhood around 3:30 in the morning.

One witness said he saw the deer jump over a car and nearly get hit by a bus.

At one point, the deer was spotted on West End Avenue before it ran off into a near-by marsh, where it disappeared.

A wildlife officer from the Department of Environmental Protection was called to the area in case the deer re-emerged.
