Animal put down after running through building, suffering "massive injury."

A deer died Monday after making a leap through the window of a Tysons Corner Office building, running around with "massive injury" before two officers were able to put it down.

Officer Bud Walker, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Police Department, said a caller contacted the department around 12:04 p.m. Monday to report a deer had crashed through a window in one of the suites at 8400 Westpark Drive.

The suite was evacuated as the deer continued to run around in the office, Walker said.
