Second Fatal Attack Causes Panic on Village Beach

July 2
A second attack has been confirmed following Wendy Watson’s death yesterday. Alex Ferguson 10, of Mayfair Court in Amity, has been killed at Village Beach.

Ferguson had been floating on rubber raft when the attack took place. His body has not been recovered, but his yellow rubber raft washed ashore with a large bite mark. It is thought but cannot be concluded that this nor Watson’s death were results of a shark attack.

Amity mayor Bob Farley is deeply sorry for the Fergusons family loss. Ferguson’s mother Marian has been treated for shock at Amity hospital and is considered to be in fair condition.
Chief Brody has requested that beaches be closed for 24 hours until investigators can look deeper into the attacks. It has also been requested that more officers be on guard on the beach.

Talks of closing the beach took place during the press conference held at 5 p.m.
Old fisherman Ben Quint has made an offer to find the killer at hand and destroy the species. His offer is being considered by the chief and deputy.

Amity’s beaches continued to thrive today and seem unconcerned with the previous shark attack, until the second attack took place. A man whom was playing catch with his dog, Pippet seems to think the animal disappeared in the water just before Ferguson was attacked. It cannot be confirmed that Pippet was indeed attacked as well.

The first victim Wendy W. Watson was last seen alive around 11 p.m. and her mangled body was found washed up on the beach early in the morning July 1st.
