Beaches Re-Open 3 Days After Deady Shark Attack

SOLANA BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Some Southern California beaches that were closed after a deadly shark attack are expected to reopen today.

Some 17 miles of sea front in San Diego County were closed to
swimmers over the weekend after Friday's attack.

Retired veterinarian David Martin bled to death after he was bitten across both legs by a shark thought to have been a great white.
There has been no sign of the shark since the attack on the
66-year-old triathlete.

Martin's oldest son, Jeff, told reporters his father loved night
diving and other sea activities. He says the attack happened
despite "staggering odds" and he had no qualms about going
surfing at the same beach where his father died.
