AVON, North Carolina (CNN) -- A shark attacked a couple in waters off Cape Hatteras on Monday evening, killing the man and critically injuring a 22-year-old woman, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The woman suffered severe trauma and was taken by helicopter from the Outer Banks to Sentera Norfolk General Hospital, where she was in critical but stable condition after surgery Monday night.
Doctors said they could not describe specific injuries, but said the woman was expected to survive despite losing a great deal of blood.
The attack at North Carolina's Outer Banks happened two days after the season's first fatal shark attack, which killed a 10-year-old boy.
That attack occurred Saturday evening in Virginia Beach, Virginia, about 135 miles north of Avon. Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf said the boy's father dismissed praise of him as a hero because his son died.
Oberndorf said she spoke by phone with Richard Peltier, whose son David died hours after Saturday's attack.
"He is grieving heavily over the loss of his son. I told him we all thought of him as a hero for what he did to turn his son loose, but he said, 'It didn't work,'" Oberndorf told CNN.
She described what Peltier said happened just before the shark attacked.
"He said that the water was so clear, that he happened to glance down and notice the shark. He saw the fin, he saw the blue back of the shark, and he also was aware of what a shark looked like," Oberndorf said.
"He immediately called his boys to get back on their surfboards. He leaned over to pick David up, the 10-year-old, and before he could pull him all the way on the board, the shark had him."
The father sustained minor injuries as he tried to free his son from the shark. David Peltier, who lived in Richmond, bled to death early Sunday because of a torn femoral artery, according to a statement released by the Virginia Beach police, citing the state medical examiner.
Peltier's funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday in Richmond, said his mother, Carol Miles.
"He probably told you a hundred times a day he loved you," Miles said. "Every time he would pass you, he would tell you, 'I love you.'"
Lifeguards and police patrol boats searched the Virginia Beach area Monday for more sharks, although none has been spotted since Saturday. At any sign of sharks, lifeguards were told to order swimmers to leave the water immediately. Beaches were open, but many visitors stayed on shore Monday.
"I'd just as soon keep my kids out of the water, and not take my chances," one woman told CNN. "I don't want to test fate in any way."
EMS officials urged swimmers to be alert and use caution in the ocean, especially in non-guarded areas. They noted the incident was a freak occurrence and did not warrant closing the beaches.
David was surfing with his father and his brothers Saturday evening on a sandbar about 50 yards offshore. The shark attacked in water 4 feet deep.
"They were not in an isolated or dangerous place," Oberndorf said. She said this was the first recorded shark attack on a swimmer in the city's history.
Witnesses said Peltier hit the shark over the head to try to get it to release his son.
"I mean you could actually see him fighting off the shark and sort of pushing the shark away and pulling the kid," one witness said.
"There were shark bites all along his leg. It also looked like the shark might have got him right inside the thigh. He lost a lot of blood. He had two brothers who also had their surfboards and they were just standing on the beach crying hysterically."

James Peltier called his brother Richard -- David's father -- a hero.
"My brother's hands, he got 12 stitches across his right hand from trying to pry the shark's mouth open, and he did everything he could do to get his son released from that shark," James Peltier said.
"My brother is a hero. No one knows how to deal with something like this. It's terrible. It's like a bad dream and nobody wants to be in it."
Members of the boy's family released a statement through the hospital saying they "appreciate the expressions of concern, sympathy and support they have received from the community" and asking that prayers continue on their behalf.
Oberndorf said the city had set up a memorial fund to provide financial aid for the family.
"This is a young family of modest means. I'm sure they never thought they would be facing the type of medical bills as well as funeral costs for a young child," she said.
Maylin White, curator for the Virginia Marine Science Museum, said sharks typically found in Virginia Beach waters are small varieties, such as the sandbar, sand tiger and hammerhead.
Larger species, such as tiger and bull sharks, are rarely found, he said. White said he thought a sandbar shark could have been responsible for the attack, but that was not confirmed.
Fifty-one shark attacks, including those in the past three days, have been reported this year to the International Shark Attack File, based at the University of Florida. Forty of those were in the United States, 28 in Florida.
Only five shark attacks -- none of them fatal -- have been recorded in Virginia. The center covers data across the world on shark attacks since the mid-1500s.
Seventy-nine attacks were reported worldwide last year.
The two fatalities were the first from sharks in the United States this year. Another was reported in Brazil.
The total is far lower than the annual average of eight over the past decade, said George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File. He said this year's total probably would be lower than last year's as the summer comes to a close.
Burgess said sharks were overfished in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and they are slowly recovering.
"The saddest part of this story, outside of the boy's death, is that certain people [will use] this to manipulate their own goals based on this ... to go out and kill more sharks," he said.

August - September is mating season -- a number of years ago in FL there were some wild reports of barracuda actually flying out of the water and attacking people -- the males will be more aggressive and a little "wilder" than usual. Also sounds like there is some migratory activity in these areas as well.
Sharks don't particularly like human 'meat' so its not like they are attacking people -- they believe they are attacking prey -- e.g. a fish flopping around near the surface, has a white / silver "belly" (hand, foot, white glove, something shiny). Sharks see about as well as people do to give you an idea of what "it" looks like to them. Often they will take a bite and then toss out whatever it is that they bit into if it isn't what they were expecting.
The comment made by Burgess of the International Shark Attack File is true-- all the articles in the news of these attacks decide to pull up whatever horror pix they have of a great white probably taken during a chum ball / fish guts induced feeding frenzy. You never want to see anyone go thru the nightmare of a freak attack like these, but its the season and it can happen. I heard a statistic today that said you have like a 50 x greater chance of winning the Florida lottery than getting attacked by a shark...

Look, I scuba dive and know that attack's typically occur at the interface i.e. the surface between the air and the water and typically about three to four feet of water.
So they pose little threat to me except during the time I desend and the time I surface. I love the ocean but it is a dangerous place for humans.
It may be time to place shark nets up in these area's, they will kill the sharks caught in them, but lets face it, we have fucked up their habitat and they may have a shortage of prey that makes up their diet normally and may be feeding in closer to shore because of this shortage WE CREATED.
We will have to do what they did in in South Africa and put up the nets.

This is all a terrorist plot by Fidel Castro. He released masses of sharks near our coasts to cause widespread panic and destroy our tourist industry. I saw this on conspiracy.com.

For the MOST part, I DO NOT feel any pity for these dumb fucks.
ALMOST all of them were either:
Fishing for sharks(Chumming with cut up fish)
Swimming/Surfing at Dusk(Duh!) This is when sharks primarialy feed.
Surfing near bait fish area(inlets, ports) Double Duh!!
The rest of them were normal weird, Rare daytime shark attacks.
For the most part they were small sharks that mistook the persons foot as a fish in murky water.
As soon they bit and realized it wasn't a fish they released.
The latest death was larger sharks attacking a small child.
Big against little usually means bad news.

Why don't they just put some type of net/cage around the swimming area so sharks can't get in?

I went to the beach sunday. And for the first time ever.....there were a plethera of parking spots. So everyone must be freaked out down here.
I didn't go swimming much, nor let my dog go out to far. Lots of seaweed.

Cuban Origin
I like the story in the Rag Mag at the supermarket. It says the Sharks were trained in Cuba by Fidel to specifically attack swimmers along the coast of America. Makes sense to me.

Why do the call it an Attack...all the shark is doing is what sharks do. EAT!
Isn't is obvious that somehow the natural feeding grounds of some of this sharks are getting thin and they are looking for new places to munch down. The beach has got to the Taco Bell equivilant in shark land.

Warik...because sharks are hunters, that quickly attack their prey. Thats why its an attack.
A.A.....went to Delray beach. Only beach around here that allows dogs.

When humans enter nature, they become part of the food chain. Man kills man, no big deal. Shark kills man (which is more natural) headline news story.
I always thought beach cities should raise and train dolphins to protect the shore. With properly trained dolphins, you have a natural shark repellent AND the best life guards around.

Actually Plifter, sharks are known to eat garbage, which we gays are not, but I also hear that sharks do not eat above their IQ, both cases will make YOU a prime victim. You are both trashy and stupid. Little boy. But I am sure your cross dressing ways would confuse the shark long enough for you to get away. I bet that skirt goes good with those tits of yours.
