South Padre Island beaches were packed again Friday after a series of scary incidents on the Fourth of July.
series of scary incidentsTexas Game Warden officials confirm that two people were bitten by a shark, one came into contact with the animal and another was injured fending off the shark.
He said clearing out the water was the priority, not shutting down the beach area, especially since it was one shark involved in all of these attacks."We have current lifeguards on the beach that are encouraging individuals to stay out of the water, or at least up to knee deep water, to be aware that we have had shark sightings that are on the beach, and to make sure that everybody stays safe," Pigg said.
We're not aware in in recent history, 40 to 50 years, of a shark attack, much less a shark biting an individual or two individuals, as seriously as it occurred yesterday," Trevino said. "We've got to remember that we're in their their habitat, and not the other way around."
