Four people are believed to have been bitten by the same shark on the Fourth of July while in waters off the southern coast of Texas, officials said. Texas Game Warden Capt. Chris Dowdy told ABC Weslaco, Texas, affiliate KRGV that the four separate shark bite incidents were reported off South Padre Island.

In one of the incidents, the South Padre Island Police Department said it received a call reporting a "severe" shark bite to the leg at around 11 a.m. local time Thursday near the 4100 block of Gulf Boulevard


A shark is seen near where a man was bitten off South Padre Island, Texas, July 4, 2024.

Would she even be able to walk with that big chunk of muscle missing?

Can that part of the leg be saved?

Holy crap!

It took the bystanders a long time to get a tourniquet on her leg.
