Seems he has the taste for human flesh now and is not going to stop.
Third attack within a week, these two teens lost arms/parts of their arms.
They need to find and kill this MF quick

I took this picture on a snorkel trip to Looe Key 2 weeks ago 
Took a picture of the underwater camera I was using.

Two attacks yesterday were 500 yds apart within an hour of each other
Half a mile from the sttack last wk
Think again

looks like a bull to me

Bull shark. I was swimming in about 8 feet of water along this ridge that fell off about 50 feet to both sides. Look over to my right and this thing was gliding right past me. I damn near forgot to snap a picture. It was so much bigger than any shark I expected to see that it kinda stunned me.

The call about the 12-year-old girl came in about 4:40 p.m. The call about the 16-year-old boy attacked about two miles away came in at 5:51 p.m. Officials said they couldn't confirm whether the same shark attacked them.
Yeah, read the article you linked before jumping to conclusions. Much more likely there it's multiple sharks and the water conditions are just murky.

My bad. Was going by a poster on another board that lives near there and said they were roughly 500 yds apart.
But being within an hour of each other, and third attack within a week speaks volumes towards it being a single shark IMHO.

And i want more than, "I have watched Jaws and Shark week"
In my experience, where there is one shark.... there are more.

That same poster also said that people fishing on the pier right near the attacks were chumming.

those attacks are terrible and I hope the two kids survive and adjust to life post-injury.
That said, on CNN this morning, I hear a reporter update the situation with "Authorities are still investigating why the sharks were in the area and what they were doing..."
Umm, it's the ocean. They fricking live in there.

I'd be absolutely shocked if it were the same shark. Sharks don't behave in a "jaws-like" mentality, and there are literally thousands of them. Some days, surfing at jetty east in Destin, it's nothing to see 20-30 bulls cruising the channel.
I've also surfed in the outer banks (NC), and seen several in one morning.
I'm no shark expert, but I've shared the water with the damn things for years and never had any issues with them whatsoever...and I've been feet away from some really good sized sharks. Chances are much higher that the water was just really dirty and the tide was moving good.

Very accurate, and truthfully an understatement...on the gulf especially. Where there is one, there are many.
eta: hope those kids make it out okay.

Yep. Seen a ton over the years surfing. Had a little spinner swim right under me last week. They mostly have zero interest in humans thankfully. Just don't find yourself in the middle of a bait pod and you'll be good.
Don't be like those dumb arse tourists at the beach the other day that wanted to go play with the swarm of birds out in the water. I had to politely explain that where there's a lot of birds, there's a lot of fish, and where there's a lot of fish there's sharks.
