Surfer killed by shark off west Australia
None
A surfer was killed by a shark on Saturday off a notorious stretch of the Australian west coast. No one saw the attack Saturday morning off a beach near Gracetown, but the surfer's injuries were consistent with a shark attack, Western Australia state police spokesman Samuel Dinnison said.
The sleepy community of Gracetown has now been the site of three fatal shark attacks on surfers in the past decade. No details of the type of shark have been released, although great whites are often responsible for fatalities off the west coast. (AP)
