The shark was inspected by marine biologist, Matt Hooper and was identified to be a nurse shark. Nurse sharks are among the most brutal and dangerous of all sharks and have been responsible for hundreds of swimmers' deaths along the East Coast of the United States.
Since the killer shark was killed, the beaches will remain open for the Fourth of July.
Chief of Police, Martin Brody said "Islanders and guests alike should not be alarmed by the presence of shark spotters from the Coast Guard, the Marine Patrol, the Massachusetts State Police, the U.S. Navy, Homeland Security, the FBI, and numerous local municipal and county police agencies in the waters off our beaches."
Brody also stated that anyone who sees a shark sighting should report to the authorities or call 1-800-sharksee.
