JACKSONVILLE BEACH — There has been another shark bite incident off the coast of north Florida.

Reports out of Jacksonville state a shark bit a 10-year old girl on her leg near the south end of Jacksonville Beach Wednesday.

Police report the girl was only in about 2 feet of water when the shark, estimated to have been about 3 feet long, bit her below the knee.
