State Marine Fisheries official Gregory Skomal said Tuesday he hasn’t talked to the victim, but the description of the man’s injuries, witness accounts, and the presence of gray seals near the beach fit with a great white attack.
Truro police said Christopher Myers suffered severe cuts to both legs in Monday’s attack at Truro’s Ballston Beach. The beach remained open Tuesday.
State officials said the last great white shark attack off the Massachusetts coast was in 1936, and the person died.
Yikes!!!!!!

This was no boat accident
Get me Brody!
Hooper drives the boat, chief.
Close the beaches!
Good thing you brought your rubbers.
I hope people don’t go on a shark killing spree now
And I don’t think they need to close the beaches, it was just one attack and the guy wasn’t killed. The shark probably thought he was a seal. People just need to be smart and not swim in an area that is known to have a large seal population. Hope he gets better soon.
This is the 3rd attack in 2 wks and the sharks are coming in so close
My fanny will stay on land thank you very much!!! Prayers for a speedy recovery!!!
Get rid of useless seals
You won’t catch me in them waters I’ve seen jaws a thousand times I’m good il stay hot…
Tree huggers rather people get hurt or killed then move dirty seals that pollute and ruin public and I repeat public beaches.sharks love eating seals and even state environmental people say population is getting out of control with seals on coastline in Ma.
