Huh a series of shark attacks and in the same day? You're gonna need a bigger boat.

If she was going to lose the arm anyway, why not let the shark have it

This is the best summary I could come up with:


McKenzie McClintock, the South Walton Fire District Public Informations Officer, told reporters that officials currently do not know how far from land the attacks occurred.

Three people were hurt in the attacks, South Walton Fire District Chief Ryan Crawford said, per NBC News.

During an evening news briefing, he said it was "extremely unusual" for two shark bite incident to happen in the same afternoon.

"She received significant trauma to the midsection, the pelvic area, as well as amputation of her left lower arm," Mr Crawford said.

After the first attack, the beaches in the area began flying double red flags to warn swimmers of the potential threat in the water.

However, around 2:56pm, sheriff's deputies and fire fighters were called to deal with another shark bite at the Sandy Shores Court area near Seacrest Beach.
