A teen was bitten by a shark during vacation in Gulf Shores.
A teenager from Kentucky is recovering after suffering an apparent shark bite while vacationing in Gulf Shores.
Blake Berry, 17, said he was in waist-deep water last Tuesday when he felt something clamp on to his ankle.He swam back to shore and saw “tons of blood” covering his ankle. “It turned out to be a fourth of an inch away from hitting a major artery, which probably would’ve led to me bleeding out, possibly losing my foot or even dying,”Berry was bit by what was estimated to be an 8-foot-long bull shark. He was taken to the hospital where he required surgery and more than 50 stitches. He said doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
