Brothers battle shark attack at Galveston Beach
Bobby Slaughter, 13, and his brother Gregory, a Nimitz Middle School student, were snorkeling when a four to five foot shark attacked. Bobby swam out, struck the shark, and brought Gregory to shore where he required surgery but is recovering. Authorities noted this was the ninth shark bite in Galveston in 20 years.
