A 16-year-old girl has been attacked and killed by a shark while swimming in a river in Perth, Western Australia, local authorities said.
The teenager was pronounced dead after being pulled from Swan River, CNN affiliate Nine News reported. “This is an extremely traumatic incident for anyone to witness,” Inspector Paul Robinson from Western Australia Police told a press briefing. Robinson said the girl had jumped into the water to swim with a pod of dolphins that had been spotted nearby. Police had pulled her from the river and tried to save her life but she died at the scene, he added. Official investigations are now underway.
He was pulled from the water by witnesses who tried to stem the bleeding from his leg. While bull sharks are sometimes aggressive, marine experts have reiterated that attacks are still “incredibly rare events.” “The Swan River estuary is good bull shark habitat and this means people can come into close contact with them,” said Andrew Chin, a senior research fellow at James Cook University. “Unfortunately some encounters end badly and in this case with tragic results.
