Missouri girl, 7, bitten by shark

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - A 7-year-old girl from Missouri was bitten by a shark while playing in 2 feet of water, Beaufort County deputies say.

The girl suffered puncture wounds to her foot and buttocks in the attack yesterday afternoon, but the injuries were not life-threatening, deputies said.

Lifeguards and others on the beach first thought the girl had been stung by a stingray.
