Real life “Jaws”?

On Martha’s Vineyard’s South Beach, a woman was pulled out of the water with shark bites on her legs.

The Beach has been closed down since early this afternoon.

The Vineyard is where Steven Spielberg shot “Jaws” in 1974. Things didn’t end well for “Bruce,” the shark from the movie. But I guess younger sharks haven’t seen the movie. You’d think someone would have told them.

Hope this woman is okay. Great way to start Labor Day week!
