Great White Shark Kills Surfer | Video Report

Friday morning a great white shark killed a 19-year-old surfer 100 yards from shore. He and his friend had been in the ocean for about 45 minutes before the fatal attack. The victim's mother said that he called her on his cell phone, before going into the ocean, telling her how incredible the waves were that morning.
A UCSB student who was once called a hero for saving another person's life, died today after being attacked by a shark.

"Lucas was a nice guy, he loved life." That is how a fellow student at UCSB is remembering Lucas McKaine Ransom, who was attacked by a shark while "boogie boarding" at a beach near Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Officials say the 19 year old Ransom, of Romoland in Riverside County, died after a shark pulled him off his board about 100 yards from shore. Ransom suffered a massive wound to his left leg. The attack happened just before 9:00 a.m.~source
