shark attack

Multiple popular beaches along Florida's Gulf Coast were closed to the public Friday afternoon after multiple shark attacks were reported just hours apart.

A 10-year-old Florida boy is recovering after a shark attack left him without part of his leg.

The shark attack was the second in as many days on the Outer Banks and the sixth in the past two weeks.

Bull sharks have been spotted in the canals connecting the boating community to the lake.

Doctors who treated wounds to his heel and big toe later said he had been bitten by a shark.
