A groundhog crossing a busy Maryland road never made it to the other side after an encounter with a deputy who whipped out his gun and put the critter down with a single bullet — an incident that was all caught on video. Fox 45 Baltimore reports that Justyna Olkowska posted the video on her Facebook page Sunday and wrote, "This just happened. The groundhog met its fate on a road Sunday in Skykesville, about 20 miles northwest of Baltimore, according to the station. "He found that the groundhog in question was walking into the roadway, causing vehicles to stop and creating a hazard," the statement said. The statement added: "Believing the groundhog to be either sick or injured, the deputy then put the animal down for the public's safety."
