Just after noon, a lifeguard reported that a surfer had been bitten by a shark. When they saw someone walking from the water with blood coming from his foot, they started treatment.

Just minutes later, another person walked on shore and he too had been bitten on the foot by a shark.

The victims were identified as a 15-year-old male from Casselberry and a 43-year-old man from Ponce Inlet. Both were treated for minor injuries and released on the scene.

They were the 20th and 21st shark bites in Volusia County this year.
