Jaws III with added color

The shark responsible for the deaths of two local citizens has been caught and killed today.

Local fisherman caught the 400 pound, 12 foot Nurse shark a mile away from Amity.

The beaches will reopen immediately just in time for the Fourth of July weekend. “I urge all our residents to recreate at the beaches in order to encourage the participation of all our visitors in the wonderful water sports,” said Police Chief Martin Brody.

The sight at Village Beach on the beautiful Fourth of July day was extremely up-beat, in light of the recent attacks. Many visitors and residents packed on to the golden sand to enjoy the festivities.

The mayor told reporters that the shark, that may have injured the other natives, had been caught, making the beaches safe again.

The caught shark allegedly killed both 10-year-old Alex Kintner yesterday afternoon, and 17-year-old Wendy W. Watson late Wednesday evening.

Watson was the first victim of the killer shark, whose mauled body was found washed up on shore early yesterday morning. Her cause of death was, determined by the coroner’s office, was a shark attack, according to a confidential source.

The beaches were not closed at this time.

Kintner was last seen floating on a rubber raft around 2 p.m. when the shark attacked. The waters were quickly cleared, and all that remained was a pool of blood and the damaged raft that Kinter was floating on.

This incident caused for the beaches to be closed for 24 hours. A $3,000 dollar reward was issued at this time by the Kintner family, to anyone who could catch and kill the predator that allegedly killed their son.

This gave time for the shark to be found, and killed, to make the beaches safe again.

Despite the fact that the shark was caught and killed, there was still hesitation from beach goers to enter the water.

As soon as some began testing the water out, people of all ages entered and began to enjoy the water. Soon after though, swimmers spotted what appeared to be a shark and a large panic broke out as the waters cleared.

The alleged shark ended up being two local children playing a particle joke with a cardboard fin. The two will have to prefrom public service.

Everyone cleared the water and no one was injured.

Although the beaches will reopen, residents and guests should not be alarmed by the presence of shark spotters, Brody stated. “They are simply a safety precaution that we hope will put out visitors at ease,” he said.
