DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A 13-year-old girl was bitten on the hand by a shark as she waded in shallow water in the Atlantic Ocean, authorities said.

The teenager was taken to Halifax Medical Center, where she was in stable condition early Thursday, hospital officials said. Authorities said she had lost some blood.
No one else saw the shark, and it was not known what type of shark bit the girl, Petersohn said.
