Jaws 4, shark caught

                Police report that the shark that has been blamed for the two recent attacks at Amity beaches has been caught and killed.

                The fisherman who caught the shark was not identified in a recent press release from Police Chief Martin Brody, but said fisherman will be receiving the $3,000 reward.

 The reward is coming from the Kintner family whose son was killed at a beach in Amity yesterday.

A press release written yesterday by Police Chief Martin Brody said the incident “appears to have been a vicious and unprovoked shark attack.”

                Alex Kintner was swimming on a raft yesterday afternoon at Village Beach when the attack apparently occurred. Though his body was not recovered, his raft floated to shore and was covered with blood.

                The shark is also considered for the death of Chrissie Watson, whose body was found mangled at South Beach early yesterday morning.

                The shark was confirmed to be a Nurse Shark by Matt Hooper, a marine biologist from the Woods Hole Massachusetts Oceanographic Institute.
