With seven confirmed shark attacks so far this summer, this really is the Summer of the Shark for North Carolina.

Now South Carolina is getting into the game:

A young boy visiting the Lowcountry from Utah was bitten by a shark off Isle of Palms Tuesday.

Kysen Weakley, 12, tells News 2 around 6 p.m., he was playing with a younger cousin in knee-deep water at IOP Park when he felt something bite his leg. According to Kysen’s mother, the shark wrapped its mouth around his leg and let go immediately. Kysen then took his cousin and rushed out of the water.

“I felt a prick in my leg.  I like turned around and saw the sharks fin like swimming away.” Kysen said.
