Four people attacked by shark near Texas on Fourth of July

Four people reportedly suffered shark bites Thursday in the waters off South Padre Island, Texas, with officials believing there may only be one shark behind the attacks.

The South Padre Island Police Department received a call around 11 a.m. local time with reports of a man suffering a "severe" shark bite to the leg, according to ABC News . First responders from the South Padre Island police and fire departments treated him at the scene before transporting him to a nearby hospital.

Details about his condition are not yet clear.

Another video shows a woman being pulled to shore while bleeding from her leg while other beachgoers apply a tourniquet to the wound. The video then zooms out to show a shark swimming in the water.

The shark has since returned to the open waters and there is no plan to contain it at this time, according to a local ABC News affiliate.

The Washington Examiner contacted spokespeople for the South Padre Island Police Department and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for more information.
