Meeting Held About Shark Attack

This morning, Amity Village held a meeting to discuss the near future of the Amity beaches.

The mayor, Chief of Police, and townspeople came together to announce the decision the officials have made.

Martin Brody, Chief of Police stated that the beaches are from this point on, going to be closed. Townspeople became riled up, but mayor Bob Farley reassured them that the beaches will only be closed for 24 hours.

Although Brody wasn't informed of the time limit of the closing, the mayor decided that it would be best for the town.

The reason for the closing of Amity beaches is due to two shark attacks that have happened within the last three days. A young girl and a younger boy was assumed to be killed by a shark.

Brody stated that while the beaches are closed, he is going to have shark spotters searching the waters to find the vicious shark.

Ben Quint, a local fisherman attended the meeting and offered to hunt down the shark. Quint said the shark could potentially "eat someone whole." He would like to be rewarded with $10,000 if he returned with the head, tail, and body.

Mayor Farley said he would take this proposition into consideration.
