Seventeen-year-old girl killed in shark attack at Bribie Island

A teenage girl has died after being attacked by a shark in Queensland, Australia on Monday. Police confirmed that the girl had suffered life-threatening injuries and died.

Australian media reports that she was 17 years old. The waters around the beach are home to many sharks, but the attack occurred close to shore in the popular surfing spot, which has measures to protect against sharks. This is the second fatal shark attack that’s unfolded here in Queensland in just over a month.
