Police are looking further into the death of local girl after a local boy was fatally attacked by a shark in Amity on Monday.

Alex B. Kintner, 10, was swimming on his float Monday afternoon at Village Beach when he was viciously attacked and his float washed ashore is pieces surrounded by blood.

The cause of death is still unknown at the time, but police are saying it appears "to have been a vicious and unprovoked shark attack."

This comes just hours after police found the mangled body of Christine W. Watson, 17, washed ashore. At that time, police were not looking into a shark attack as her cause of death.

Watson was last seen by Christopher P. Hoggenbottam III after the two had left a party at South Beach.

Watson and Hoggenbottam had decided to go for a swim but Hoggenbottam passed out before entering the water.

"She was running into the water," Hoggenbottam said, "and next thing I know the police found her mangled body."

Police encouraged people to still go to the beach after Watson's death because they were not in the same danger.

After a second attack, a Town Hall meeting will be held tonight at 6 p.m. to discuss the closure of the beach and plans to hunt the shark thought to be the cause of death for both of the victims.

"I join Amity Major Bob Farley in expressing the town's deepest and most sincere condolences to the Kintner family," Police Chief Martin Brody said; "Now we know that these random acts of senseless violence, victimizing innocent, helpless citizens, do not just happen in the city."
