A shark attack today (Feb. 27) killed a New Zealand
man swimming at Muriwai Beach, a popular swimming and surfing area near
Auckland.
Several sharks were involved in the attack on Adam
Strange, 46, according to witnesses, though a 12- to 14-foot long (3.5- to
4.3-meter) great white shark is believed to have initiated the strike, CNN.comreported.
Police responded immediately to the attack:
Officers fired several shots from an inflatable boat and a police helicopter at
the great white shark and reportedly hit the animal, according to the New
Zealand Herald. The shark swam off, however, leaving police to wonder if it
is still alive.
