Reports of shark sighting at beach near San Onofre prompts public warning for beachgoers
SAN ONOFRE (KUSI) — A shark sighting prompted a public warning Friday for visitors to San Onofre-area beaches.
Surfers reported seeing an 8- to 10-foot shark in a surf break known as Old Man’s, according to officials at Camp Pendleton, whose property includes a stretch of ocean shoreline in the vicinity.
The alert will last for 24 hours, until late Saturday afternoon, authorities advised.
On April 29, a shark attack in the same general area left a woman severely injured.
