Here are four of the top stories in San Diego today:

She was treated for puncture wounds to her thigh, was stitched, and is now recovering. Lifeguards closed the beach near the 17th Street Lifeguard Tower in Del Mar. The area will remain closed for 48 hours as part of the city’s shark bite protocol. (NBC San Diego)
