New fun drinking game. You have to take a shot every time the girl says oh my god.
deputy with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office fatally shot a groundhog in Eldersburg on Sunday, in an incident captured on video that has been widely shared on social media.
The deputy stopped when he observed the groundhog acting oddly, department spokesman Cpl. Jon Light said.
“It doesn’t appear that it had bitten anyone at that point,” Light said.
It is unclear if the groundhog was rabid, Light said.
The incident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. at Liberty Road, near White Rock Road, where the deputy had stopped traffic in both directions.
Justyna Olkowska saw the encounter while driving home from her job as a payroll manager in Sykesville, and posted a video of it on Facebook that has been viewed over 37,000 times.
“You see the groundhog coming after the officer. At this point in time, the animal was not acting as a normal animal would. It is within our policy to dispose of any animal that could pose a health threat,” Light said.
The video shows the deputy stepping toward the groundhog, which doesn’t back away. The deputy then slowly backs into the next lane of traffic and the groundhog runs toward the deputy. The deputy then pulls his gun, gets down on one knee and shoots the groundhog once. The groundhog continues to roll around and the deputy then gets down on one knee again and shoots the groundhog a second time, and then walks back toward his patrol car.
