WENATCHEE, Wash. – A Chelan County deputy was forced to kill a deer due to its injuries after a wolf attack Tuesday morning.
The attack happened in a residential area on the west side of Wenatchee.
A Fish and Wildlife spokesperson says a wildlife biologist examined the deer and found it had a broken leg, possibly from being hit by a car, which made it vulnerable to the wolf attack.
Two wolves were photographed by a remote camera in late March just south of Wenatchee, the first evidence of a wolf pack in Chelan County in recent history.
