at South Padre Island on July 4 shared an update about her condition after undergoing medical treatment.
“There are about four of us in the water. I had some teenagers with me. My daughter, 15, was with me as well. And all I saw was something gray in the water,” she said on July 4.“I thought, ‘Oh my God! It’s a huge fish.’ And it was coming at us, so I kicked at it, and that’s when I think it grabbed my leg,” Sullivent remembered.“It’s like I could feel numbness, I guess, is the best way to describe it,” she said.She credited a higher power for helping her survive the attack.
CNN reported two off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agents pulled a victim from the water and applied a tourniquet to the person’s leg after the attack.“Started swimming towards him, and he jumped out of the water and started saying, ‘Shark! Shark!’ And that’s when adrenaline kicked in, and I went right after him.
Victoria had blood running down her leg after a few of the shark’s teeth scratched her leg, CNN reported. Bazaldua said her daughter’s wound was minor and not deep.TPWD said shark encounters of this nature are not common in Texas, and sharks may mistake people for food.
