September 19, 2018 — CAPE COD, Mass. — We’ve seen them through out the summer; Video after video of shark encounters off the Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts.
But this weekend, a deadly encounter occurred off the Cape – the first in the Bay State in over 80 years.
“This is a horrible tragedy,” said Dr. Greg Skomal, a shark expert with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.
“No one wants a shark attack of any kind,” said Skomal, “and a fatal attack is the worst kind.”
After studying the case, Dr. Skomal thinks he knows the culprit in last weekend’s deadly attack.
