Shark Attack!

It seemed like a scene out of the movie, "Jaws."  Officials gather on a bluff overlooking picturesque Solana Beach, to discuss a Great White Shark attack and their plans to deal with it.  But this was real.  A 66 year old retired vet training as a triathlete is attacked and killed while swimming just off shore.  This never happens here...many said and yet, there is this tragic reality.  And just think...other swimmers in the water watched as it happened.  Officials closed the beach.  However, we couldn't find anyone anxious to head out given what happened.  It just goes to show that beneath the tranquil waters of the Pacific, there is danger and sometimes it surfaces to let us know.

This is a shocking news story. When I was a kid, I witnessed a shark attack and was in the water. Sharks are my biggest fear and will not go into the ocean waters. I swim in lakes with possible snakes. And, I like to relax by the pool too.

The OC's my beat for FOX 11 News. But you can catch me covering just about any story, any place, any time. Have news, will travel! I've been doing that here at Fox 11 for 15 years, traveling coast to coast and south of the border. You never know what you might do or where you might end up and your assignment could change from one minute to the next. To me, that's what being a reporter is all about. And it's pretty cool working in an area where I was born and raised. Yep, I'm a native Angeleno and proud of it!! In case you're wondering, Naipo is Hawaiian, the short version of the 21-letter ancestral name, Naipoikamanaihookaahi....
Good luck on the pronunciation.
