MYRTLE BEACH — Four people swimming in the ocean Thursday were bitten by sharks within a 30 minute timespan.
“We have no confirmation on the species,” said officials. “But all four have the characteristics of a shark bite and not another marine animal bite, we may never be a hundred percent sure what kind of shark it was,” they concluded.
An 18-year-old female tourist was the first to come out of the water screaming and with bites on her hand and feet.
“I asked her if she was sure it was a shark,” a witness said. “She said ‘yes, I tried to pry it off my foot with my hands and that’s when it bit my hand’.”
Three other folks also attacked by sharks have not yet been identified.
“There is a lot less people in the water than there was yesterday,” officials said.
