"A 12-year-old Ohio girl became the year's sixth shark bite victim in Volusia County when one of the creatures chomped on her ankle today as she rode a boogie board off Daytona Beach, a Beach Patrol spokesman said.

The girl was in about 4 feet of water north of the Zelda Beach Approach when a shark bit her on the right ankle, said Beach Patrol Capt. Scott Petersohn.

The 4 p.m. shark encounter was farther north than usual because most bites are reported south of the south jetty in New Smyrna Beach."
