Man-Eating Shark Strikes Coast Near Monterey Bay
A 15-foot shark killed 17 year old Berry Wilson within 50 feet of shore in Monterey Bay California. Wilson suffered severed leg deep lacerations and flesh torn from his buttocks before bleeding to death. Fellow swimmer Brookner Brady Jr. 15 fought the creature with a knife as the shark attacked others and then fled. Marine biologists identified the species and fishermen speculated storms drove the shark into the bay. It marked the first recorded human harm by a shark off this stretch of the northern California coast.
