ISLE OF PALMS, SC (AP/WIS) - Two shark attacks have been reported off the Isle of Palms. Workers say one happened just outside the county park at the Isle of Palms and another about three hours later outside Wild Dunes.
When the shark bit the nine-year-old boy, authorities say they had to temporarily close part of the beach. That was around 2pm. The closure affected 200 yards of each side of the Isle of Palms pier.
Isle of Palms Police say the boy's injury was significant but not life-threatening. Isle Of Palms City Administrator Linda Tucker says the child had lower leg and ankle injuries and was sent to East Cooper.
One witness told The Post and Courier of Charleston that the boy just got a little too close to the shark.
The second attack happened at Wild Dunes around 4:30pm.
According to 911 both victims were both bitten on the leg.
