Boy Bit By Shark 2 Feet From Shore!

For four years, Julian Elizondo has played for the Seabrook Sharks youth football team. Friday night, he met the real thing. The 12-year-old boy was walking about 2 feet from the shoreline along Crystal Beach, near Galveston, when he felt something grab his left foot. When he couldn't pull away, the boy knocked the shark in the head and it let go. The boy then tried to run to shore, but he collapsed. He was taken to the hospital where doctors performed emergency surgery to repair the damage to his foot and ankle joint. He's doing ok now. This is the third shark bite victim treated at this hospital in the past 13 months.
