35-year-old surfer killed by shark off notorious stretch of Australia's west coast
• PERTH, Australia (AP) -- A 35-year-old surfer was fatally mauled by a shark Saturday off a notorious stretch of Australia's west coast, police said. • The shark "bounced off the board" of one surfer "before attacking the other male" off a beach near Gracetown, said Western Australia state police Sgt. Norm Giocas. • The sleepy community of Gracetown has now been the site of three fatal shark attacks on surfers in the past decade. Surfers were also killed there in 2004 and 2010. • The victim, whose identity was known but not immediately released while police notified relatives, died instantly from massive injuries, Giocas said, adding that beachgoers brought his body ashore. • Surfer Ryan Scanlon saw the body and told the PerthNow news website that the victim had lost his left arm and flesh from his right leg. • ___
