Twelve-Year-Old Survives Shark Attack | Durham News

A Texas teen narrowly escapes death after a nurse shark bites him while swimming off Staniel Cay — but his heroic older brother’s quick action saved his life. Parker, just 12, described the agony as a knife twisting in his leg, but Jack, spotting the shark first, used his swimsuit to stem the bleeding before hauling him to shore. Adam and boat crew helped secure medical care. Doctors say Parker will make a full recovery — though he’s still in pain — and he credits Jack as his hero. The family, vacationing on a secluded beach, is grateful for their sons’ bravery. Parker, already looking forward to dirt biking again, calls himself lucky to still have his leg.
