Amity beaches are open for business. The shark that claimed the lives of Wendy Watson and Alex Kintner has been caught and killed.
Marion Kintner offered a $3,000 reward to anyone who killed the shark that killed her son. Fisherman from all over flocked to the water in hopes of catching the shark.
Matt Hooper, a marine biologist out of the Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, MA inspected the shark. According to Hooper the shark was a Nurse Shark.
“Nurse Sharks are among the most brutal and dangerous of all sharks.” Said Hooper
There will be shark spotters from the Coast Guard, Marine patrol, Massachusetts State Police and several other organizations on the beaches throughout the Fourth of July weekend. They are there as a precaution. The waters in Amity are completely safe.
Citizens of Amity are told to keep an eye out as well. If anyone should see anything suspicious please call 1-800-sharksee
