'I remember just breathing really heavily, and then when it latched on to my stomach, not being able to breathe at all because I was just like, 'What the heck is happening?'' Reed said on TODAY.
A 13-year-old girl bravely fended off a shark in the waters off of Fort Pierce, Florida, and is recovering after the attack left her with bites on her torso, arm, finger and knee.
"I remember just breathing really heavily, and then when it latched on to my stomach, not being able to breathe at all because I was just like, 'What the heck is happening?'" Reed said on TODAY. "It bit me in the stomach first. And right as it bit me in the stomach, I shoved my arm where it was biting me so it didn’t get my stomach and it got my arm instead," Reed said."Then I hit it with my other hand, like hit its nose or its face."
"At first I thought she was joking actually, and then she says, 'I'm not joking!' And she took the camera and she panned it on her body, and I kind of just froze and freaked out," she said."Her first thing was to tell her friend to run, not ask for help. She was saving her friend."
