Recreational open water swimmer killed by a shark in San Diego

Poor family, I wish them the best..

I think the last so cal shark kill was in the 1920's though my friend Scott says there was a kill off of Point Dume in Malibu in the 1980's.

Snippet: "...Witnesses told lifeguards that a “big gray shark” attacked Martin, biting both his legs, said Solana Beach Marine Safety Capt. Craig Miller.

Martin was swimming with a group of about 10 others, heading north from Fletcher Cove, near Tide Park, when the attack occurred. The group regularly swims in the area. All the swimmers were wearing wet suits. ..." [Link]

Here in the PNW we're always aware that the landlord is lurking.

Unfortunate accident indeed...
