Shark Attack?

Alex B. Kintner, 10-years-old died today at 2 p.m. in what appeared to be a vicious shark attack Village Beach. Kintner’s rubber raft, which he had been floating on floated ashore shortly after with what appeared to be a large bit in it.
Kintner had been floating on his raft off of the crowded beach. The day was beautiful and the water was calm when what seemed to be an unprovoked shark attack took Kintner. Kintner’s body has not been recovered but his damaged raft floated ashore shortly after.
The Police Chief Martin Brody now believes, “it may be possible that the Watson death could also maybe have been linked to possible shark activities in the vicinity of Amity.” Christine W. Watson’s death had occurred last night along South Beach. She was reported missing by Christopher P. Hoggenbottam III, at 6 a.m. and her body was found shortly after.
Marion Kintner, Alex Kintner’s mother, was also at the beach at the time her son disappeared. She has now been hospitalized Amity General Hospital and being treated for shock. Her and Alex Kintner were the only two injured.
Brody and Mayor Robert Farley express their deepest and most sincere condolences to the Kintner family.
A special meeting will be held by the mayor, chief of police and the Amity Board of selection tonight at 6 p.m. in Town Hall. The meeting will include the discussion of Brody’s plan to close the beaches on July 4, as well as Kintner’s family reward for the capture of the perpetators. And finally an offer to Ben Quint, an old fisherman to hunt down the shark thought to be the vile perpetrator of this tragic incident.
