Man killed in Massachusetts shark attack, first since 1936

A man who was swimming near a beach off the coast of Massachusetts was killed Saturday when he was attacked by a shark, officials say, making it the state’s first fatal shark attack in more than 80 years. The incident happened at about 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday when the man, believed to be in his mid-20s, was swimming near Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet, a town on Cape Cod.
The victim suffered serious injuries and CPR was performed at the beach, but he was later pronounced dead at Cape Cod Hospital. >link<15:46
