VILANO BEACH, Fla. -- A 9-year-old St. Johns County girl is recovering after being attacked by a shark on Sunday. Casey Schmidt was surfing off Vilano Beach when she was bitten on the upper leg. She was transported to a hospital, and doctors said her wound was mostly superficial. Casey said the shark attacked her after she fell off her surfboard. "I started tumbling in the waves, and I guess it just bit me then. It felt like a 20,000-pound saw hit me," Schmidt said. She's expected to make a full recovery.
