Runner Finds Shark on Sullivan's Island Beach

Beached fish caught by retreating tide.

A runner on Sullivan's Island Wednesday morning discovered a 5-foot bull shark that had apparently beached and died near Station 18 on the island.

The runner, Steven Colman, said he thought the shark was caught in a lagoon between to sand bars as the tide went back.

He discovered the fish around 6 a.m. Maintenance workers later removed it and disposed of the carcass.
