Friday night, the ground detection sensors set off an alarm at this location at 11:10,\u201d airport CEO Phil Washington said, per KKTV. \u201cDEN\u2019s operator on duty reviewed the alarm and identified a herd of deer just outside of the perimeter fence, very near to where the incident occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not initially see the trespasser.
