It was the first fatal attack in the United States this year and the first reported in the area in 30 years. “Fd rather give the shark a little time to get fur ther down the coast,” said Debbie Morris. 39, of Virginia Beach, who refused to allow her 11-year- old daughter into the water. David Peltier of Richmond died at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters in Norfolk at 3:45 a.m. after Saturday’s attack. He suffered a 17-inch gash to his left leg and lost large amounts of blood from a severed artery, officials said. The boy was in about 4 feet of water with his father and two brothers on a sandbar about 150 feet from shore when .he was attacked, said Ed Brazle, division chief for the city’s Emergency Medical Services. In a rescue effort similar to the one that saved 8-year-old Jessie Arbogast in Florida in July, David was freed from the shark’s jaws after his father hit the shark on the head. Richard Peltier then carried his son ashore, where witnesses and lifeguards administered first aid. The boy’s two brothers, who also had their surfboards in the water, cried hysterically, witness es said. The father was treated for a hand injury. The family has refused interview requests, said Mike Carey, spokesman for Virginia Beach police. The family also asked the hospital not to release details about David’s injury or treatment. Sandbridge Beach is a remote coastal commu nity of elevated vacation homes within the city of Virginia Beach. Sandbridge was closed Saturday after the attack but Virginia Beach officials reopened it Sunday morning. More than 40 EMS divers and a Jet Ski patrolled the waters, said Bruce Eduards, director of the city’s Emergency Medical Services. Scientists with the city’s Virginia Marine Science Museum flew over the beaches m a police helicopter but didn’t spot any sharks. Maylon In many coses like this, the shark is feeding and it's after fish and it mistakes the person for the fish. — Mayton White curator White, the museum’s curator, said authorities did not know what kind of shark attacked the boy, although it likely was a sandbar shark, which typ ically are 4 to 6 feet long. Those sharks are not usually aggressive. White said. -In many cases like this, the shark is feeding and it’s after fish and it mistakes the person for the fish,” he said. There have been 49 shark attacks worldwide this year, with one fatal in Brazil, said George Burgess of the International Shark Attack File in Gainesville. Twenty-eight have been in Honda waters. Last year, there were K4 shark attacks world w ide. 53 in the United States, Burgess said. I Monday, September3, I NEWS IN BRIEF Feds raid pharmaim KANSAS CITY.

Adam Matthew Moss, 23, stared at the floor or his hands as he appeared before Woodbury County District Judge Magistrate John Nelson. Seven first-degree murder accusations were detailed in complaints filed by county prosecutors, who said formal charges would be filed this coming week. If convicted of a single first-degree murder charge. Moss would face life in prison; Iowa does not have the death penalty. No motive was given for the killings. Moss showed no reaction in court and never raised his eyes. The judge said Moss is accused of going into the home of his girlfriend, Leticia Aguilar, late Monday or early Tuesday, while she and her children were sleeping. He is accused of beating each of the children to death with a hammer while they slept, then going to Aguilar’s room, cutting her throat and beating her in the face with a hammer. Nelson said. The bodies of Aguilar, 31, and Claudia, 12; Zach, II; Larry, 9; Lisa, 7; and Michael, 6, were found Thursday evening by a baby sitter who dropped by to see why the children had failed to show up at her home after school. About the same time, the body of Ronald E. Fish. 58, owner of a tire store and service station, was found at his home some two miles away. Moss also is accused of stealing Fish’s car. Fish was attacked with a hammer and a knife late Wednesday or early Thursday, authorities said. Following an all-night search. Moss was arrested Friday. He was found hiding behind a pile of plywood outside a shack that police had been watching. Police Chief Joe Frisbic sai^. “This community was scared to death,” Frishie said. ‘‘Everyone svas worried about their children and the schools and wondering if they were safe in their homes.” The judge said a public defender would be appointed for Moss. He was being held Saturday under suicide watch in the Woodbury County jail, w here he was isolated for his own safety. Sheriff Dave Amick said. Michael. Lisa and Larry were in the first, second and fourth grades at Everett Elementary School, principal Michaela Hansen said. On Friday, coun selors spoke with children at that school and at West Middle School, which Claudia and Zach attended.
