Jaws comes to TX beaches

I must say that is a very aggressive shark to be attacking so close to shore. FL has had it's share of shark attacks this year too. So has Adelaide, Australia, but then again those folks were ignorant enough to go swimming or scuba diving in the heart of Great White country.  ::)

In this case, probably more like Jowls than Jaws.  If it didn't completely take off his foot, and he lifted it out of the water, it was probably about a three-footer.

What did this kid do wrong?  He swam at night.
