Rangers Investigate Shark Attack Rumors

Boy Remains In Critical Condition

Published reports say that the National Park Service is re-interviewing witnesses to the shark attack that nearly killed 8-year-old Jessie Arbogast three weeks ago. The Pensacola News-Journal says that rangers are looking into rumors that the boy's uncle was reeling in the bull shark when it ripped off the boy's arm and part of his leg. Arbogast remains in serious condition at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital in Pensacola. The uncle, Vance Flosenzier, says that he doesn't even fish. He wrestled the shark to shore, and Jessie's arm was retrieved from the predator's jaws. Doctors reattached it after 11 hours of surgery. Doctors say that Jessie remains in a light coma. They say that his vital signs are stable and he continues to show slight neurological improvements daily. Meanwhile, a state lawmaker said he's working on legislation to regulate if not ban shark feeding off Florida's coast. St. Petersburg legislator Charlie Justice says he's working with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission on the issue.
