Fox News
A teenage girl is expected to lose her leg after sustaining "serious injuries" in a shark attack Thursday at a Florida beach, the second attack in the nation this week.

The girl's brother, Rhett Willingham, reportedly beat the shark until it let go of the teenager. Willingham then took his sister to a nearby boat, where he tied a tourniquet to minimize the blood loss, according to Bethea's post. She was then transported to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare via helicopter with "serious injuries."
Taylor County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Gina Deeson told USA Today the teen was in surgery at around 6 p.m. that night.
