In a scene almost straight out of Jaws, two kids were bitten by sharks off the coast of Long Island, New York.
A 12-year old girl suffered a bite wound to her leg and minutes after that attack a 13-year-old boy who had fallen off of a boogie board was attacked very close to where the girl was bitten was bitten. The shark that bit the 13-year-old boy left behind one of its own teeth in the wound.

Officials soon after decided to release the sharks back into the water, and what followed next was a legendary response from the girl that was bitten.
“I’m glad they took them back [into the water]. [But] I wish they would put them further out.” Shark attack survivor Lola Pollina (pictured above with bandaged wound) said this after learning about the catch-and-release.
A pretty amazing response from a young girl who was probably just traumatized by a shark attack. Officials also announced they released the second shark as well.
Props to this girl for her response!
