Horror as two teens and woman, 45, are injured in back-to-back
shark attacks at popular Florida hotspot - with one victim
losing an arm
Floridians living around Walton Beach have been advised to
stay away from the water after three people were attacked
by sharks one right after another.
According to the Walton County Sheriff's Office, a 45-year-
old woman was bit by the marine animal in the water near
Watersound Way and Coopersmith Lane at around 1.15pm
yesterday.
She sustained 'significant trauma to the midsection and
pelvic area and amputation of her left lower arm,' according
to South Walton Fire District Fire Chief Ryan Crawford.
The victim immediately flown to a nearby trauma hospital by
a helicopter in critical condition.
At around 3pm, officials responded to calls of another shark
attack on two female teenagers, 15 and 17 years old that
occurred four miles away from the first attack.
All three of the victims, who were visiting the area, were
attacked while they were swimming near the sandbar.
'Victim one received significant injuries to one lower
and one upper extremity. Both [bites] required the
application of tourniquets,' Crawford said.

The ocean is not a zoo folks. The minute you jump
in you're LUNCH for something.
