Village Beach Shark Attack

In a press conference held earlier today in response to the deaths of 10 year old Alex Kintner and 16 year old Wendy Watson, Mayor Bob Farley announced that the shark responsible for these deaths was killed by a local fisherman this morning.
Alex Kintner was killed by a shark early in the afternoon yesterday while playing in the water with his friends. His body was not recovered. 16 year old Wendy Watson’s severely mauled body washed up on shore earlier this week and the reason for her death is speculated to be linked to that same shark.
Mayor Farley brought in world famous shark expert, Mad Hooper, to verify that this shark is the shark responsible for these deaths.
“We know that this is the right shark,” said Farley. “I doubt there is another beast like this in these waters.”
Hooper investigated the body of the shark when it was brought to shore and deemed it to be a Nurse Shark, one of the most dangerous of all sharks.
In response to these events, Farley announced there will be extra presence of shark spotters on beaches for this Fourth of July celebration and people should to carry on normally as the beaches are deemed safe.
In a press release from Police Chief Martin Brody it states that residents should not be alarmed at the sight of these extra precautionary armed forces and they are only there to put tourists and residents alike at ease.
Farley said there is always a possibility of another shark out in the waters but he doubts it.
“We just want everyone to be comfortable and not worry,” said Farley.
In response to how this shark was verified to be the shark responsible for the deaths of the two victims Farley had this to say, “We didn’t look for human remains because we thought it would be very disrespectful to both the dead people and the dead people’s families” Before Farley exits the conference, he points to a picture of a bloodied open mouth of a shark, “We just know that this is the one.”
Down at the beach it was a crowded day as families soaked up as much sun as they could in the water and on the sand.
In an impromptu interview at the beach, Farley said, “I’m pleased and happy to repeat the news that we’ve caught the predator that killed the two young people. As you can see people are happy here.”
As he spoke these words, an alarming whistle was blown from the lifeguard station and a booming voice over a mega phone could be heard saying, “GET OUT OF THE WATER”.
As people we’re fleeing for their lives, rescue boats we’re coming closer to shore.
Moments later it was deemed to be two young children with a cardboard fin playing a trick on the beach goers.
It looks like the only real trouble seen on today’s Fourth of July was the consequences of these childish acts.
