College student survives shark attack near Surfside Beach

By ABC13
HOUSTON Kori Robertson went to the beach on Memorial Day and was with friends on Follett's Island, near Surfside, when she felt a jerk on her thigh, then pain.

She made it out of the water and then saw more than a dozen upper and lower jaw tooth marks just above her right knee.

The 22-year-old saw senior education major was treated and released from a Galveston hospital. Doctors believe the bite was caused by a bull shark.
