Sydney Newspaper The Telegraph reports:

“A man is dead after a Great White shark attack at Muriwai Beach, north of Auckland.

Emergency services rushed to Muriwai, a popular west coast surf beach just before 11.30am today following reports of a shark attack.

A student said a police officer fired 20 shots at the 3.7-4.3 metre long Great White Shark, which has not been retrieved from the sea, Stuff NZ reported.

Fisherman Pio Mosie told APNZ that he saw a man swimming nearby.

“All of a sudden … we saw the shark fin and next minute, boom, attack him then blood every where on the water,” he said.”
