The sun is out, the temperatures are climbing and that means many folks are either already at the beach or making plans to get out for a little bit of that sun-sand therapy.

It also means, inevitably, they will be sharing the water with sharks. It’s their home, after all, and that means that, occasionally, there will be run-ins. Thankfully, most of those run-ins don’t prove fatal.

There was a run-in this week, and it actually made for one heckuva story. Bull sharks can be aggressive and downright nasty, and one went for a 13-year-old girl in Florida on North Hutchinson Island Thursday.

And, credit to the girl — Ella Reed — she managed to fight it off.

“It went straight to me and got my stomach first,” she reportedly said. “And I tried blocking it with my arm and my hand, and it kind of slipped in and got my finger and my arm, and it swooped around and got my leg again.”

Reed said the whole incident “didn’t really hurt at first because of all the adrenaline.”

The girl said she rushed out of the water and was eventually taken to the hospital.

Her mother, Devin Reed, said there was “blood everywhere,” but that her daughter was calm and “like a pro.”

“Pretty scary stuff, but thankfully she’s there talking to you,” Devin Reed said. “And once you see she’s OK, then you calm down a bit.”
