Surfer is killed in shark attack off California coast
(MCT) — LOS ANGELES — A 39-year-old man surfing off the Santa Barbara County, Calif., coast was killed Tuesday in a shark attack that occurred off the same beach where a body surfer was killed two years ago.
Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. of Orcutt, was dragged by a friend to the beach after he sustained a massive bite on his upper torso that turned the water surrounding him red, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s officials said. He died at the scene.
