Deer pays startling visit to New York homeowner

STRYKERSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — A western New York homeowner says she awoke to find an unwelcome visitor in her living room — a deer.

Wyoming County Sheriff Deputy Matthew Sage responded to the homeowner’s call earlier this week. He tells The Buffalo News (http://bit.ly/1t8ZD0O ) the young buck had crashed through a window and was standing near a couch when he arrived at the rural Strykersville home Monday morning.

Before Sage could get inside the house, the deer jumped out through another window and trotted off into the woods.

He says the animal appeared to be uninjured.

Summer McIntosh storms to Pan Pacs 400 IM title, rebounding from 200 free runner-up finish

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Summer McIntosh of Canada led all the way in winning the 400-meter individual medley at the Pan Pacific Championships on Thursday night, bouncing back after a runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle. Australia led all but 150 meters of the women's 4 x 200 freestyle relay, with the team of Inez Miller, Lani Pallister, Hannah Casey and Milla Jansen winning in 7 minutes, 42.40 seconds to lower the country's championship mark of 7:44.12 set at the 2018 Pan Pacs. Katie Ledecky swam the anchor leg for the U.S., but couldn't overhaul Jansen although she got within a body length in the closing meters. Erin Gemmell, Anna Peplowski, Rylee Erisman and Ledecky took silver in 7:43.10, also going under the old championship mark. “I've kind of struggled with the 200 individually from a flat start over the last couple years, but I always know I'll have something in me for the relay and I'll pull out a good split,” Ledecky said. “I love swimming that anchor leg.”
