From Times Wire Reports
A teenager who lost a leg because of a shark attack in Florida is recovering at home in Lebanon after 16 days in the hospital, his family said.
Craig Hutto, 17, was attacked June 27 while fishing in the surf off Cape San Blas. The shark’s bite nearly severed his right leg, and it was amputated.
“He made it home in two weeks, and that’s a tribute to the doctors,” his older brother Brian said during a news conference.
