Photos from the incident showed a team of people carrying the teen to safety once they got back on land.“It was her right leg that received a bite from the shark. So, she lost her right leg,” Bennett explained. “We’re very saddened about it, but I want to highlight that this is something that is very rare and I don’t think this is a time to say, well, you know, we don’t want to go swimming again or something,” Belize’s Minister of the Blue Economy told the outlet.Carlson, who is a rising sophomore at Aspen High School, “will have a very long road of recovery ahead of her,” the family’s fundraiser page said.
