A sixty-something swimmer was fatally attacked by a six-meter shark just 15 meters from shore, leaving his friend powerless to help. Authorities have ordered the shark’s destruction and closed nearby beaches until Saturday — marking the second shark attack in Western Australia in just five days. The victim, a beloved local surf club member, left the community reeling. A nurse witness called the scene harrowing. Officials are investigating, while another surfer injured in a separate attack further north is now stable. Shark patrol flights have begun for summer, with intensified monitoring expected as temperatures rise.
