The individual responsible for the tragic shooting at a youth hockey game in Rhode Island, which resulted in two fatalities, seemingly issued foreboding messages...
A surfer at a popular Manlybeach avoided entering the water minutes before a serious shark attack after being warned of the danger by his mates.
Max White surfs at North Steyne Beach on Sydney’s Northern Beaches almost every day, and he had planned to do the same yesterday afternoon.
When he mentioned his plans to his friends, they strongly advised against entering the water.

“I approached them and said, ‘I’m thinking of going for a surf.’ They just looked at me, shaking their heads,” he recounted to 2GB’s Ben Fordham.
“They warned, ‘No, don’t go out there, you’re going to get attacked by a shark.'”
White said just 20 minutes later, a surfer was mauled by what is believed to be a bull shark, suffering serious leg injuries. He is now fighting for life in hospital.
It was the third shark attack in Sydney in just 26 hours, with a 12-year-old boy also fighting for life after being bitten in Vaucluse.
In a separate incident, another surfer had a piece bitten off his board at Dee Why.
As a precaution, authorities have shut down more than a dozen beaches across the city following these shark incidents.
Wet weather in Sydney has created optimal conditions for shark attacks, with waters murkier due to the recent downpour.
More than a dozen beaches across the city have now been closed as a result of the attacks.

White said he was still on the beach when the attack happened, saying two French backpackers raised the call for help.
“[They] ran up to us and started screaming, ‘in the water, there’s a guy, he’s bleeding out,’” he said.
“We looked out, and as he went over a wave, you could just see the pool of blood in the water.
“No matter how murky the water was, the wave was red.”
