Animal appeared uninjured and will be assessed before being released back into the wild if that is deemed appropriate.

It was not known how a coyote found its way to the Aldi at 800 N. Kedzie Ave., but police officers and the city's animal control department helped out, Chicago police said. The coyote will get a health assessment before it's released.

Imagine shopping for groceries and stumbling upon a wild coyote in the frozen food aisle. That's exactly what happened in a Chicago Aldi store today.
