Village Beach is closed!!

The Board of Selectman, city police chief, and the mayor met in Town Hall last night after the shark attack was made on Village beach earlier, and decided to close all beaches for 24 hours.
Prior to the meeting, a reward of $3,000 for anyone who kills the shark has been posted throughout the town. There will be shark watches on the beach and highly trained officials to help find the shark.
However, at the meeting, Ben Quint, a fisherman, offered to find and kill the shark for $10,000.
“I can bring you the head, the tale, the whole thing,” said Quint.
Quint did not receive an okay for his proposal, but Mayor Bob Farley wants the shark to be killed immediately.
Yesterday Alex Furguson, a ten-year-old boy, was killed by the shark. He was on his rubber float with other children in the water, and once the chaos broke out, everyone was safe but Ferguson.
“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.
Ferguson’s body was taken to an autopsy to verify it was a shark attack.
“We now believe that it may be possible that the Watson death could also maybe have been linked to possible shark activities,” said Brody.
The search of the shark continues, and if the shark is not found after 24 hours, the beaches will remain closed. Although the decision was to protect the people in Amity, many Selectmen were upset about the beaches being closed on July 4th.
“24 hours is like three weeks,” said Lucy Loo, a selectman.
