Man, I hate seeing stuff like this.

Fourth of July, people out enjoying the weather and the warm water at South Padre Island, Texas, and then a rogue shark just starts attacking people, one of whom had a large chunk of her calf taken by the shark.

[Blurred but still graphic]

A single man-hungry shark attacked four swimmers enjoying the Fourth of July on a Texas island, leaving at least one victim with a bite-shaped chunk missing from her calf …

The woman was one of two who were bitten by what officials believe was the same shark β€” a man was severely bitten in his leg around 11 a.m., officials said …

Two other swimmers 'encountered' the shark but were not seriously hurt, Texas Parks and Wildlife officials said. One was grazed and received minor injuries, while a man fought off the shark and received stitches.

Investigators suspect the same shark is to blame for the 'abnormal and unprecedented' attacks.

The woman was airlifted to a hospital while the man, who also suffered a "severe bite," was taken to a hospital by land.

I'm told shark attacks of this nature are uncommon in Texas, and that this shark was possibly just hunting for a meal and mistook these human limbs for fish; which is why if you're ever swimming near a school of fish you might want to be careful.

The six-foot shark made its way to deeper water, and authorities haven't made an attempt to hunt it down.

I won't show you the unedited photos of the woman's leg, because they're just awful. They're all over the internet, so have a look at your own discretion.

Seriously praying for that woman after seeing what her leg looks like.
