A nurse shark, credited for the deaths of the two young swimmers the last two days, has been caught. Nurse sharks are among the most dangerous and brutal sharks of the east coast and credited for hundreds of swimmer's deaths.
Chief Police Brody has reopened the beaches as well as called in shark spotters from the Coast Guard, the Marine Patrol, the Massachusetts State Police, the U.S. Navy, Homeland Security, the FBI, and other agencies as "as a safety caution that we hope will put our visitors at ease."
The Nurse shark was inspected by Matt Hooper, a marine biologist from Woods Hole, Mass. He is a leading expert on sharks and is from the Oceanographic Institute.
The shark was discovered a mile out south-southwest of Amity. As promised, a $3,000 award will be given to the heroes who caught the beast.
All residents are encouraged to go out and enjoy the fourth of July, shark free. If however, something happens do not hesitate to call 1-800-sharksee, Amity's toll-free shark hotline.
"We wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July," reported Brody in his press release about the Nurse Shark. "Thank you!"
