SEATTLE — Seattle, known as the "Emerald City" for its luscious greenery, now has a new ordinance in effect, that will help protect trees. "Trees planted today, can and will create the canopy for my children," said Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss said back on May 23 when the ordinance was passed. The ordinance expands protections to 175,000 trees across the city, compared to the previous code which only protected about 17,700. But some acknowledge it’s not perfect. "We need to use our creativity to ensure we can have denser, better, affordable housing, while also living in conjunction with ecosystems we can rely on," said a man who goes by the name of Droplet. He and other activists have been living in a cedar tree found in Seattle’s Wedgwood neighborhood for two weeks. It was supposed to be chopped down to make way for housing construction. "There's certainly a quality over quantity concern here, which is a stand of new trees... sequesters much less carbon, provides certainly less ecosystem services and also doesn't have the memory of this tree," Droplet said. As part of the ordinance, removed trees must be replaced or a fee must be paid to plant additional trees elsewhere. In a statement, Councilmember Strauss wrote, "My aim was to pass a balanced bill that protects trees in our neighborhoods and during development while making space for the housing {in} our city."	https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-tree-protection-ordinance/281-06b828ab-126c-48ba-9a08-ac0419e50ba6	2023-07-31T02:16:15	1	https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-tree-protection-ordinance/281-06b828ab-126c-48ba-9a08-ac0419e50ba6

HOWARD COUNTY — A mother who lost her son to a drug overdose held a fundraiser to raise awareness, highlighting the dangers of fentanyl. Debbie Santini lost her son Jesse Byrd last February due to an overdose on fentanyl while he was at a recovery house in Annapolis. Now she says she has a mission to advocate for change in recovery housing, raise public awareness, and talk about the dangers of illicit drugs while supporting those in recovery. "Hopefully, save another family from going through the devastation of losing a child," said Santini. "No family is immune to this." Carin Miller is a member of the Maryland Heroin Awareness Advocates. She says fentanyl is being replaced with Narcan-resistant drugs. "Fentanyl is now being replaced by zylozine. It's a large animal tranquilizer, and they are selling it on the streets as fentanyl,and it's killing people because it is Narcan-resistant," said Miller.

TUALATIN, Ore. — Washington County Sheriff’s Office officials said deputy Charles Dozé is now awake and talking after he was shot multiple times, in the face and chest Wednesday. Dozé was delivering an eviction notice at the Forest Rim Apartment complex in Tualatin, when Beaverton Police said a suspect shot through the door, hitting Dozé. Washington County Police Officers Association President Patrick Altiere said it could take months, or even years for Dozé to recover from his injuries. He said the shooting Wednesday morning shocked deputies throughout the agency. “It’s somber because you don’t know what’s going to happen,” Altiere said. “Or at the very beginning you don’t even necessarily know who’s involved right.” Dozé has worked for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for 10 years. He serves as a civil deputy. His main duties include serving legal orders, enforcing court orders and county ordinances. Hundreds of people have contributed to a gofundme for Dozé, which raised $50,000 as of Sunday. It is unknown when Dozé can return to work. “This is going to be a long recovery process, we’re talking months or years,” Altiere said. “We don’t know what the income impacts are going to be down the road. We don’t know any of that.” Police said the suspected shooter is 34-year-old Kristafer James Graves. After the suspect began shooting, police said a deputy returned fire. It’s unknown which deputy shot back. “They were ambushed at the door,” Altiere said. “They knocked on the door and they weren’t greeted by a person, they were greeted by gunfire.” After a stand-off that lasted hours, Graves was found dead in the apartment bathroom with a gunshot wound. It is not yet known if it was self-inflicted, or if Graves was shot by a deputy. “There’s no way to prepare or be ready for that,” Altiere said. In the past few years, three Washington County deputies have been injured on the job, Altiere said. Two were shot, another injured by a drunk driver.	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/washington-county-deputy-shot/283-31cf5ea1-b113-4ceb-9754-52fd4dd27108	2023-07-31T02:32:20	0	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/washington-county-deputy-shot/283-31cf5ea1-b113-4ceb-9754-52fd4dd27108

SACRAMENTO, Calif — Three homes were damaged after a fire in Sacramento Sunday afternoon. The Sacramento Fire Department responded to the blaze around 1:40 p.m. at 39th Street and Boyles Court. When crews arrived to the alleyway, the fire had spread to three occupied homes. No injuries were reported. The blaze was deemed a three-alarm fire due to the proximity of the homes and the threat to others.

CALIFORNIA, USA — A massive wildfire burning out of control in California's Mojave National Preserve was spreading rapidly Sunday amid erratic winds, while firefighters reported progress against another major blaze to the south that prompted evacuations. The York Fire that erupted Friday near the remote Caruthers Canyon area of the preserve was sending up a huge plume of smoke visible nearly 100 miles (160 kilometers) away across the state line in Nevada. Flames 20 feet (6 meters) high in some spots have charred more than 110 square miles (284 square kilometers) of desert scrub, juniper and Joshua tree woodland, according to a Sunday incident update. “The dry fuel acts as a ready ignition source, and when paired with those weather conditions it resulted in long-distance fire run and high flames, leading to extreme fire behavior,” the update said. No structures were threatened. There was no containment. To the southwest, the Bonny Fire was holding steady at about 3.4 square miles (8.8 square kilometers) in rugged hills of Riverside County. More than 1,300 people were ordered to evacuate their homes Saturday near the remote community of Aguanga. Windy conditions and the chance of thunderstorms into Monday will heighten the risk of renewed growth, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. One firefighter was injured in the blaze, which was 5% contained Sunday.

MIDLAND, Texas — For the last three decades, Denny Park has known one thing: deliver people their mail. "I’ve worked for the postal service 33 years," Park said. "And I've been out here at Manor Park for about almost 22 years." And to the residents of Manor Park Retirement home, he’s the best of the best. Not just as a mailman, but as a friend. "He really has had an impact," Manor Park resident Barbara Stooksberry said. "He makes a special effort to get to know you as soon as you move into Manor Park. And so he knows everybody. He knows all of us. He takes care of us. And I think he really loves his job and loves people." He also delivers something that doesn’t come in mailboxes: smiles. "If I could put a smile on them," Park said. "And a lot of times when they see me, they smile and that makes me smile." It means a lot to the residents that Park goes above and beyond the line of duty for, and it shows. "He really does care, and he cares about all of us, and the people out here," Stooksberry said. But Friday was Park's last day, as he is retiring to spend time with his family. On his last day, this beloved mailman will not only deliver the mail to his residents, but he’ll deliver to what he now calls his family. "It's bittersweet," Park said. "These people are family to me out here. They supported me when I was going through hard times. [...] Some of these people are longtime customers, but they're more than a customer. Some are like moms, dads to me." That’s why the residents at Manor Park wanted Denny’s last day to be special. And for once, deliver him a surprise. "Well, we decided when we found out that our longtime mail carrier Denny Park was retiring," Stooksberry said. "We needed to do something special for him. He is very special to us. He has been so kind, so giving and so caring for us older people. And so, we decided we needed to do something special for him." It was a sendoff he definitely didn’t see coming. "I was very surprised when all these people showed up," Park said. "This was very surprising. So I'm just very humbled." And it’s a memory he won’t ever forget. "I mean this," Park started. "I mean, if this doesn't stand out, I don't know what will." Denny is heading to Miami tomorrow for a much-deserved vacation. And he looks to spend the rest of his life raising his kids; one of them being a two-year-old. But even though Denny’s done delivering mail to his friends at Manor Park, don’t expect him to be a stranger. "These are wonderful people," Park said. "And that's the main thing I'll be missing, mostly just the people out here. That is going to be the hardest thing for me to learn is missing this." Just because he isn't the mailman doesn't mean he isn't welcome. And something tells me Manor Park will once again be a main setting in Denny’s next chapter. The only difference is he probably won’t be traveling there in his iconic mail delivery truck.	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/beloved-mailman-gets-surprise-retirement-party/513-8cf29c86-975b-438b-990b-a8ab2ffd82a1	2023-07-31T02:38:49	1	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/beloved-mailman-gets-surprise-retirement-party/513-8cf29c86-975b-438b-990b-a8ab2ffd82a1
Friday's massive monsoon storm left nearly 56,000 Tucson Electric Power customers without power. As of Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m., that numberstood at about 700 customers, according to a TEP spokesman. "We have made significant progress," said TEP representative Joseph Barrios. "We currently have service restored to about 55,000 customers. However, approximately 700 customers still remain without power at this time." Barrios shared that the storm's impact was widespread, causing damage throughout the area, but he said service for the customers that remain without power would be coming soon. The nature of the damage from the storm is partly to blame for that. "This storm caused damage everywhere. Over the last couple of days, we have been responding all over town, and this is now the third big storm we've had in a row," he explained. The previous two storms had primarily affected customers on the Southwest side and in the Catalina Foothills area. People are also reading… Barrios mentioned that while downed power poles were a contributing factor, there were also hundreds of work orders for damaged equipment, including downed metal power lines and other pieces of equipment blown down or damaged. The type of poles TEP installs also played a role in the restoration efforts. Barrios said approximately 80% of the agency's transmission and distribution line structures are wooden, with the remaining 20% being metal. He explained that they typically replace wooden poles with metal ones, except in hard-to-reach locations where wooden poles are necessary to facilitate work. Barrios emphasized that wind was usually the biggest culprit in causing damage leading to outages. While hail and rain were present during the storm, wind's force was the primary concern.

ST PAUL, Minn — Editor's note: The above video originally aired on July 1, 2023. State lawmakers passed a plethora of new laws this past 2023 legislative session that are about to become reality. The statutes could have a substantial impact on you and your family. They touch on a wide range of topics such as marijuana, gun background checks, catalytic converters, worker safety and bicyclists. Here are the highlights of those rules that will go into effect on Aug. 1. A detailed summary of the new laws in 2023 can be found online, published by the nonpartisan House Public Information Services. Adult-use cannabis The legislation that made big headlines was the adult-use cannabis bill signed into law on May 22, making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize recreational cannabis. Beginning in August, Minnesotans will be allowed to legally possess cannabis and certain cannabis-related convictions will be expunged. If you're 21 or older you can possess or publicly transport 2 ounces of cannabis flower, and up to 8 grams of cannabis concentrates. You can also possess up to 2 pounds of cannabis flower in your home. Limits on edible cannabis product possession are 800 milligrams of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis. Rep. Zack Stephenson (DFL-Coon Rapids) and Sen. Lindsey Port (DFL-Burnsville) sponsored the legislation. The new law will also prohibit possession of "opened cannabis products in a motor vehicle, similar to the existing "open bottle" law, according to House Public Information Services. Misdemeanor cannabis convictions will begin to be expunged. The records will not be destroyed but will be removed from public view and will not appear in criminal background checks. A Cannabis Expungement Board will examine more serious cannabis convictions on a case-by-case basis. The board will determine whether a person's felony cannabis conviction should be expunged or if they should be resentenced to a lesser offense. Public safety Effective Aug. 1, a new law will require all private transfers of pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons to be subject to background checks. Also taking effect is the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act which requires the Department of Corrections to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan for every inmate with at least a year left to serve their sentence. If an enrollee makes "sufficient progress," their sentence could be reduced by up to 17%. Other parts of the law, sponsored by Rep. Kelly Moller (DFL-Shoreview) and Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-St. Louis Park), include prohibiting peace officers from joining or supporting hate or extremist groups. Reimbursing firefighters and emergency workers for purchasing soft body armor, strengthening laws prohibiting surreptitious observation or photographing that invades a person's privacy and requiring landlords to disclose all non-optional fees in the lease agreement is included in the legislation. Curbing catalytic converter thefts A new rule aims to make it more difficult to sell stolen catalytic converters to scrap metal dealers. The law, sponsored by Rep. Ruth Richardson (DFL-Mendota Heights) and Sen. John Marty (DFL-Roseville), prohibits the possession of a detached catalytic converter with a "few narrow exceptions," according to the House Public Information Services. The law also makes it a potential felony charge for a person to be in possession of an illegally acquired detached catalytic converter. Scrap metal dealers cannot buy a catalytic converter not attached to a vehicle unless it has identifying markings that can connect it to that certain vehicle. Courts will be required to include the costs of replacing a catalytic converter as part of any restitution ordered in a criminal case. Worker safety Rep. Hodan Hassan (DFL-Mpls) and Senate President Bobby Joe Champion (DFL-Mpls) sponsored a law that establishes worker safety requirements in warehouses. Under the law, employers are required to provide each warehouse worker with a written description of any quotas, including details about how their work is measured and any action that might result if they fail to meet those quotas. The requirements are aimed at helping employees at companies like Amazon. Bicyclists at intersections Under a new law, Minnesota bicyclists will be allowed to roll through stop signs as long as they do it with caution and skill. The law states that "a bicycle operator who approaches a stop sign must slow to a speed that allows for stopping before entering the intersection or the nearest crosswalk. If there is not a vehicle in the vicinity, the operator may make a turn or proceed through the intersection without stopping." Rep. Frank Hornstein (DFL-Mpls) and Sen. D. Scott Dibble (DFL-Mpls) sponsored the law that also designates the Mississippi River Trail Bikeway and the Jim Oberstar Bikeway as state bicycle routes.	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/new-state-laws-that-go-into-effect-aug-1-minnesota/89-196a4fdb-59da-4376-a3c7-216ccd819df4	2023-07-31T03:15:39	0	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/new-state-laws-that-go-into-effect-aug-1-minnesota/89-196a4fdb-59da-4376-a3c7-216ccd819df4

MINOT STATE ALUM TO COACH SOFTBALL Former All-NSIC baseball player at Minot State Sal Rodriguez has been named the new softball coach for the Beavers.

(AP) — Kayla McBride hit four 3-pointers and finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, Lindsay Allen added 16 points and six assists, and the Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 87-83 on Sunday. Aerial Powers scored 14 points, Jessica Shepard had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Dorka Juhász added 11 points for the Lynx. Minnesota (13-13) has won three games in a row — including an 88-83 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading New York Liberty on Friday. Connecticut (18-7), which had its three-game win streak snapped, is a half-game behind New York in the standings. Napheesa Collier, Minnesota’s leader with 21.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, missed her second consecutive game with an ankle injury.

Tom’s Vegetable Company at the York state fair is hard to miss with your eyes, ears and nose. Owners Al and Phyllis Elliott have popped up at the fair for more than two decades, serving kettle corn, low-calorie lemonade, and deep-fried vegetables. “We've been doing this, Oh my gosh, I bet you 25 years with the Tom’s," Al said. The couple says the move from September to July, which took place for the 2021 running of the fair, has been good for them. “We've done as well as if not better than we did when the fair was held in the fall," Phyllis said. Not everyone has fared as well, including the owner of Savory’s Pumpkin Funnel Cakes Al Trimmer. “The attendance has dropped off since they moved the fair to July. So our business has gone down," Trimmer said. Trimmer used to have two stands at the fair but cut back to one for a variety of factors, including a higher cost to participate and shrinking revenues. “We just decided that for what we were taking in with both of them we would just get down to one," Trimmer expressed. "I will definitely not go back to having two locations after experiencing only one this year." One reason attendance dipped was due to excessive heat. "I think our lowest business day this week was the day that was for seniors," Phyllis declared. "I think a lot of those people just decided they didn't want to venture out." This was the second consecutive year a heat wave hit during the fair. Fair officials said extremely hot weather and concert cancellations led to a 34% decrease in attendance last year, though they anticipate a rebound this year. "Right now we're looking at better numbers than we did have last year," York State Fair Marketing and Communications Director Montgomery Stambaugh said. The Elliots say they plan to come back for 2024, even if the heat does too. “Whatever [fair officials] want to do, that's fine with us,” Al stated. Stambaugh confirmed to FOX43 that the annual event will remain in July for 2024 and 2025.

Family and friends came together for an intimate vigil Sunday night to remember the 17-year-old as a loving brother, uncle and son. “I’m obviously devastated.

Wildfire Go-Kit: Residents in wildfire-prone areas are urged to have an emergency supplies kit to bring with them of they are evacuated from their homes, especially as Arizona residents are beginning to see early widespread fire activity throughout the state. An emergency supply kit should be put together long before a wildfire or another disaster occurs. Make sure to keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that residents near a disaster store emergency supplies in a plastic tub, small suitcase, trash can, backpack, or other containers. Residents should make sure they have the necessities, such as three gallons of water per person and a three-day supply of ready-to-eat food, the NFPA said. A first-aid kit, prescription medications, contact lenses, and non-prescription drugs should also be taken into account. Copies of any important family documents, including insurance policies, identification, bank account records, and emergency contact numbers should also be taken and put into a waterproof, portable container in your kit, the NFPA said. The association lists other items that would help in a disaster, including: - Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person - Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio and a NOAA weather radio to receive up-to-date information - Dust mask or cotton T-shirt to filter the air - Matches in a waterproof container - Complete change of clothing including long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy shoes stored in a waterproof container - Signal flare The entire NFPA checklist of supplies can be found here.	https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/wildfire/sunflower-residents-can-to-return-home-after-evacuation-due-diamond-fire/75-2d514bf5-df4f-4776-8f85-071c9fb34a47	2023-07-31T03:46:45	0	https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/wildfire/sunflower-residents-can-to-return-home-after-evacuation-due-diamond-fire/75-2d514bf5-df4f-4776-8f85-071c9fb34a47
BESSEMER, Ala. (WIAT) — Dr. Dana Arreola was officially welcomed at Bessemer City High School as the new superintendent for Bessemer City Schools. Teachers, city, county and state leaders held a welcome reception for the new superintendent Sunday. Arreola comes to Bessemer from Houston, Texas, where she served as executive director of leadership development in the Aldine Independent School District. She told CBS 42 she is excited to come to Bessemer. She said she hopes to bring a positive energy to the school system and build relationships in Bessemer. “More than anything, I want us to build the comradery and the teamwork we need in order to ensure we make Bessemer City one of the best education organizations in the country,” Arreola said. While working to accomplish these goals, she said a challenge is filling teaching vacancies in the school system. “That’s one of the things we want to make sure we are able to do, and that is to make sure we have an adult in every classroom on the first day of school and keep that adult there to make sure we provide an education for our students,” Arreola said. Bessemer Mayor Kenneth Gulley said Arreola will have the support from the city to help the school system reach its full potential. “We’re going to have to have a school system that is competitive to surrounding school districts,” Gulley said. “So today is that process of working with the school board, working with the superintendent to make sure that we all are on the same accord to do what’s best for the children and the City of Bessemer.” The new school year for Bessemer City Schools starts Aug. 8.	https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/bessemer-city-schools-welcomes-new-superintendent/	2023-07-31T03:53:14	0	https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/bessemer-city-schools-welcomes-new-superintendent/

"If they need to take a 5 AM time slot because that's the only time they can train, then I show up at 5 AM. And now they're showing up today for me, which is huge.

HAMLIN, Pa. — Humane Officer Marci Zeiler is showing Hank around his new home, for now, Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, after rescuing him and 10 other dogs from what Zeiler calls an abusive home in Hamlin. "When I got to the house, there was a camper, there was a lot of trash around, but you immediately got that death smell, so I knew there was a bad situation coming," said Humane Officer Marci Zeiler. Officer Zeiler saw Hank trapped in a camper, "Him and every dog in there couldn't have been nicer." But Zeiler says not every dog survived, "There were about 10 deceased animals in the trailer that were decomposing as well, so the conditions were pretty horrific." Griffin Pond adds that if they didn't rescue Hank when they did, they predict he wouldn't have lasted another week, "Used to rate body conditions of animals, Hank's score is still the absolute lowest while still being alive," said Nancy Reese, kennel manager. But horror stories like Hanks are becoming the new kind of normal at animal shelters. Kennel Manager Nancy Reese tells Newswatch 16 how all of these animals found themselves trapped in a trailer after being sold from sites like Facebook marketplace. "There have been several cases that we've been made aware of people getting their animals on social media, and cruelty has been involved causing death to some of them," said Reese. A story that Griffin Pond says can be preventable by getting pets spayed neutered and the current owners are in the place. "Being able to keep them long term, and they're not on social media pulling them off of social media or Craigslist just going to turn around and flip them for money," added Reese.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — The fourth annual "Stroll the Atolls" festival was held on Saturday, July 29, in downtown Springdale. This is a family and community event that aims to bring awareness of the Pacific Islanders and Marshallese culture to Northwest Arkansas. The festival was hosted by the Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese (ACOM). To provide a realistic experience, vendors had fresh cooked island food, handmade crafts, performances of traditional dances and cultural attire. Atolls are a chain of islands in the pacific ocean. "Stroll the Atolls" is a known celebration within the Pacific Islander community. ACOM says it's important for the community to see its culture and understand the history behind it. ACOM Policy Director Michelle Pedro says she's learned a lot about herself through the organization. "Reconnecting with family, reconnecting with culture...I didn't grow up with the culture I was born and raised in California. Onboarding to the Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese, I learned so much about my culture, heritage, and where I'm from." said Pedro. Watch 5NEWS on YouTube.

MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — Jessa Love is 6 years old. She looks like your typical happy little girl, but Jessa is a true warrior. The Mountain Home girl battled leukemia for over two years. She was diagnosed just days before her fourth birthday. She spent 113 days in the hospital, had 61 chemotherapy infusions, and 21 spinal taps. After a grueling two years of treatment, Jessa had the chance to ring the bell at St. Luke's on her 6th birthday in August of 2022. Her mom is so proud. "She defeated a lot of odds, and she is here today, and she finally gets to experience life just like any other kid," Jessa's mom, Laura Smith said with a smile. The past year has been incredible for Jessa. She has been so busy making up for lost time. She got to go back to school last year, and this summer she has been regaining the childhood she lost. Her mom tells us she mastered her cartwheel, is swimming without her floatie, and is now jumping off the highest ladder at the pool. She will be 7 next month. This summer has also been special for another reason. Jessa got to go on her Make-A-Wish Idaho trip to Disneyworld. "I liked the Avatar rides the best," Jessa said. It was the trip of a lifetime. She loved every minute of it. When it was time to fly home to Idaho, something really special happened. "On our last flight from Las Vegas to Boise, we just had an incredible crew," Smith said. One of the Southwest flight attendants heard about Jessa beating cancer and had big plans for her. "He had let my mom know that he wanted to pull Jessa up to the front of the plane and do a little announcement," Smith said. That's just what he did. When the flight was getting ready to land in Boise, he called Jessa up near the cockpit. The flight attendant announced to everyone onboard that Jessa had beat cancer and wished her well in the future. "He also said keep your head up, keep your chin up, and keep fighting," Jessa said. Then she got a huge round of applause from all the passengers. "It was just an incredible experience, just having that many people, that many strangers, love your child in that moment. They were so proud of her and wanted the best for her," Smith said. "It's a memory that we will always remember, and we will never forget the flight crew and the passengers that were on that flight that day. It was just the perfect way to end Jessa's journey and to end her whole trip." Little did Laura and Jessa know that memorable flight was just the beginning. Laura made a TikTok of what happened, and that video of Jessa and the flight attendant went viral all over the country! It spread like wildfire on social media, Southwest Airlines shared it, and it was even featured on NBC's Today Show. "It's been crazy watching this whole thing blow up," Smith said. "I never expected it to go as far as it did, but I'm glad it did. It just reassures that there are people who still believe in kindness and love and miracles, and that's what Jessa is, she's a miracle." A miracle who has inspired her family and friends, her community, and now, the world. "I'm excited to see how many lives this video continues to touch, and how many people continue to be moved by Jessa," Smith said.

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Editor's note: The shark used as the main image for this article was not the one involved in the incident. A man is recovering at a hospital after he was attacked by a shark in Manatee County, officials say. The man, who is described as being in his early 20s, was bitten in the lower leg by the shark near Bean Point on the north end of Anna Maria Island, a spokesperson for the West Manatee Fire Rescue told 10 Tampa Bay Monday evening. After he was attacked, someone who was with the man applied a tourniquet to his injury, fire rescue says. The man was then reportedly brought into Kingfish Boat ramp where he was transported by Manatee County emergency medical services to a hospital. "His condition is unknown at this time and we are uncertain as to the type of shark or circumstances leading up to the bite," the spokesperson for WMFR said in a statement. The investigation of the shark bite remains ongoing, officials say. Shark encounters have been making headlines lately in Florida, so what should you do if ever spot a shark while out in the water? Although shark bites are uncommon, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says there are some ways to reduce the risk of being bitten or attacked, such as always staying in groups since sharks are more likely to bite a solitary individual and not wandering too far from the shore. Get the full list of tips here. In 2022, there were a total of 57 confirmed unproved cases worldwide, according to the Florida Museum. The website says that the U.S. leads the world in the number of unproved bites in the world with Florida being the state with the most bites. 10 Tampa Bay's BriShon Mitchell contributed to this report.	https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/man-shark-attack-anna-maria/67-1ca03cde-b586-46b3-ba51-f636110c080f	2023-07-31T04:49:08	1	https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/man-shark-attack-anna-maria/67-1ca03cde-b586-46b3-ba51-f636110c080f
