RALEIGH, N.C. — A shark attacked a couple swimming in the surf off North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Monday, killing the man and leaving the woman in critical condition.
The death came just two days after the first fatal shark attack this year in the United States. A 10-year-old boy was fatally injured Saturday at Virginia Beach, Va.
Dare County Emergency Management officials confirmed that the man and woman were attacked around 6 p.m. off Avon, 135 miles south of Virginia Beach.
Dr. Seaborn Blair at Avon Medical Center said the woman was in critical condition with substantial wounds to her lower torso.
