11 year old bitten by a shark in the Florida Keys
MIAMI, Florida — An 11-year-old who was bitten by a shark in the Florida Keys has had part of his leg amputated, a family friend wrote online.
A GiveSendGo campaign to raise funds for Jameson Reeder Jr.’s recovery says that the boy was bitten by a shark while swimming in the Keys. He hung onto a swimming noodle until a Good Samaritan’s boat could reach him.
A nurse was on the boat and aided him, family friend James Miller wrote.
Jameson Jr. has now had his leg amputated below the knee as a result of this injury.
