Welcome to Galveston.A teenager was bitten by a shark during the holiday weekend along Galveston Island, where a near-drowning also was reported and crews continued searching for a missing swimmer.
The 16-year-old boy was wading with his father off Pirates' Beach in Galveston about 7:45 p.m. Saturday when he was bitten on the leg by a 3- to 4-foot-long shark.
Summer is officially here.
