SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A shark estimated at 6 feet long bit a U.S. tourist earlier this week while she swam in a popular bioluminescent bay at night, doctors said Thursday.

The woman, identified as 27-year-old Lydia Strunk, faces several months of physical therapy and will remain hospitalized until the weekend, Dr. Ernesto Torres said.

The victim is a law student at the University of San Diego in California and is from Wendell, Idaho, said her mother, Patty Strunk, who arrived in Puerto Rico on Thursday. Full story.
