1 Dead in Solana Beach Shark Attack

A man died at a San Diego County beach after being attacked by a shark. The man, who has not been identified, was training in the ocean with several other triathletes at Tide Beach around 7 a.m. Friday morning.

The 55 to 60-year-old man was taken to a nearby lifeguard station where he was pronounced dead.

 

A 17 mile stretch of the beach was closed as authorities used helicopters to look for the shark. “The shark is still in the area. We’re sure of that,” says Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian.
