60 Stitches Later…

The 9-year-old boy who was bitten by a shark over the weekend was apparently the first victim of a shark bite this year in Volusia County. Jacob Lomedico was swimming on a sandbar when he was bitten. The windy weather had apparently made the water pretty murky, and officials said that can lead to shark bites because the creatures get confused while looking for food. Jacob received 60 stitches in his left leg at Bert Fish Medical Center and was released.
