A western Pennsylvania woman got a shock this week when a wild turkey crashed into her kitchen, punching out a window frame, glass and all.

"It sounded like the whole entire wall had come down," Suzan Barefoot told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
When she saw the turkey, Barefoot shut herself into her bedroom and called the Carnegie Police Department.
Barefoot said she could hear the turkey "flopping around." But when officers Michael Dorsch and Mark Samangy arrived the bird was nowhere to be seen.
Dorsch, an experienced and enthusiastic hunter, made some turkey calls and the bird emerged from its hiding place behind the television. The police officers encouraged the turkey to leave and it ran off into the woods.
"We didn't harm the turkey at all, and there were no injuries," Samangy told the newspaper. "Thank God for my partner."
