Sometimes nature bites back.

As well as the White Pointer, Mako and a Bronze Whalers have killed humans off NZ beaches over the years...one every thirteen years or so.
We had shark warnings off the Mt Maunganui beach two Summers ago.
Also saw one in the waves around 1999 off Coopers Beach, probably 2m in length... Just big enough to keep most from the water.
When cops shoot drunk drivers who kill humans I will support the killing of man killing animals...until then accept we are playing in their sand pit, not ours...

I've had to leave the water twice for real shark presence not unquantified scares.
1 Fishermen cleaning fish 100m from us surfing at Karekare, shark surfaces we leave the water
2 Awana Gt Barrier, just cruising by
Both mid summer warm water
Muriwai has a [growing] seal colony on a near offshore Island. The swimmer was swimming around a headland with probably a lot of fishermen with bated hooks and maybe berley pods.
It a bit like riding with bad tyre's in the wet.
As a surfer I hope they get the shark.
When I lived in Margaret River West Oz I surfed south point and lefthanders all the time.
2 surfers deaths there last year right where I used to sit on my board...
3 weeks ago I got heat stroke from surfing 5-7 hours day, and have been out of the water/sunlight since. Surfs been great lately, normally I would have been out @ Piha every day this week...
Dont swim around headlands esp when bait is in the water

Well, the cop discharged his firearm at the shark that then swam off, according to Te News. Being a 9mm the shark was probably laughing all the way.

The stories are quite conflicting. The video show what happens to a bullet in water was quite amazing AND also enlightening.
If it is possible to hear a shark laugh, you would have heard it today

True and not true. If you watch the whole episode, you'll see that slower, lighter bullets, and especially subsonic bullets, manage significant penetration into water. So a handgun has a much better chance than a large rifle.Stupid prats trying to shoot the shark/s...

Go read a science book FFS. Water is NOT compressible....

Sucks for the guy and his family, but shark attacks are rare and we do them a HELL of a lot more damage than they do us. Imagine if a shark could come and hunt a human for everyone of them that we kill for their fins, or just killed for sport fishing fun (ignoring our destruction of their environment). People should get more wound up about drunk drivers or falling from a height than by a fear of sharks, it would be a little more appropriate.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

From the news it seems the cop had a Bushmaster and may have hit the shark four times but despite that they still had to beat it off with a paddle. It would have been on or very near the surface so no issues for the rifle.
Amazed at the number of wild assumptions that come along on here... But of course I shouldn't be by now.
