Four beachgoers were attacked by what is believed to be a single shark off the coast of South Padre Island, Texas, during the Fourth of July celebrations, according to local authorities.
Texas Game Warden Capt. Chris Dowdy informed KRGV about the alarming events off South Padre Island.
According to Dowdy, two of the incidents involved actual bites, while one individual was grazed and another was injured while attempting to fend off the shark.
The South Padre Island Police Department reported receiving a call around 11 a.m. local time on Thursday regarding a “severe” shark bite near the 4100 block of Gulf Boulevard.
A second person was also bitten by the shark and taken to Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville.
