Shark attack in New South Wales: One dead, one injured

A shark attack at Kylies Beach in Crowdy Bay National Park, Australia, resulted in the death of a woman in her 20s and serious injuries to a man of the same age, who was airlifted to hospital. Emergency services responded around 6:30 a.m. local time, and police credited a bystander with applying a tourniquet that likely saved the man’s life. The beach has since been closed as authorities investigate the species of the shark involved. Experts noted that attacks on multiple individuals by the same shark are extremely rare.
