The deer was shot about 500 feet from a middle school, far enough away the shooting apparently didn't violate a state law prohibiting the discharge of a firearm near a school.
Some residents who live near the site told KMOV they enjoyed the sight of the white deer in their neighborhood. Others expressed concern someone was hunting so close to homes and the school.
