Shark Attack on Villge Beach!!

A ten-year-old boy was killed by a vicious shark on Village Beach on July 3.
It was a nice hot day and many families were out on the beach when Alex Ferguson decided to float on his rubber raft. There were other kids playing around near Ferguson, but he was the only one killed. Before the attack, a boy was playing catch with his dog, Skip, and the dog never returned. The stick was spotted floating in the water when the pandemonium broke out.
“His body has not been recovered, but his damaged raft floated ashore with what appeared to be a big bite taken out of it,” said Martin Brody, Chief of Amity Police.
Once the commotion broke out in the sea, parents and friends rushed to the waters to retrieve their loved ones, but Alex’s mother, Marian Ferguson, was the only one who could not find her child.
“I kept calling his name, but there was not answer,” said Ferguson.
Ferguson was taken to Amity Hospital to be treated for shock, and she was reported to be in fair condition with no other injuries.
“We now believe that it may be possible that the Watson death could also maybe have been linked to possible shark activities,” said Brody.
A press conference will be held at 5 p.m. today in Town Hall with Brody, Amity Mayor Bob Farley, and the Amity Board of Selectmen to discuss closing the beaches and allowing Ben Quint, a fisherman, hunt down the shark.
“Now we know that these random acts of senseless violence, victimizing innocent, helpless citizens, do not just happen in the city,” said Brody.
