San Diego-Area Beaches Reopen After Shark Attack

SOLANA BEACH, Calif. (AP) ― Beaches in the San Diego area are open now that authorities have suspended shark warnings following a fatal attack 150 yards offshore.

Solana Beach city spokesman Steve Didier said the beaches were busy Monday as surfers and swimmers ventured back into the water.

Sixty-six-year-old triathlete David Martin died Friday of blood loss after being bitten once by a shark, believed to be a great white about 15 feet long.

The shark has not been seen since. About 17 miles of coastline were closed after the attack.
