Two teenagers were mauled in separate shark attacks on the same stretch of North Carolina beach today, local officials said.
A teenage girl lost a part of her arm when she was bitten by a shark in
an attack that occurred around 4 p.m. in Oak Island, a beach about 30
miles south of Wilmington, according to Brunswick County officials.
The girl lost part of her left arm and may lose her left leg, Oak Island
Mayor Betty Wallace said in a Facebook post. She been airlifted to New
Hanover Hospital in Wilmington, Wallace said.
Less than two hours later a 16-year-old boy was attacked in the same area, and Wallace said he may have lost his arm.
These incidents occurred just 30 miles up the coast from Ocean Isle
Beach, where a 13-year-old girl was bitten by a shark on Thursday. The
teen suffered lacerations on her foot, but was not severely injured. 13-Year-Old Injured After Reported Shark Attack in North Carolina
