      A popular short film maker, Adam Strange, was brutally attacked by a shark. Strange was believed to be attacked by a great white shark, while he was swimming. the police and shark specialists believe the shark to be 14 to 16 feet long.Attacks are rare. Duffy estimated that only 12 to 14 people have been killed by sharks in New Zealand since record-keeping began in the 1830s.Around the world, sharks attacked humans 80 times last year, and seven people were killed, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File. The death toll was lower than it was in 2011 but higher than the average of 4.4 from 2001 to 2010.
 
       I think that in New Zealand you have always got to be watching the ocean. I personal don't go in the water unless i know I'm not in danger. It is very rare that death is caused by a shark, but it still dose happen.I feel sorry for Strange's family and all the other family's that have had to suffer this separation of loved ones.The officer fired up to 12 shots before the shark, apparently hit, released the body. "It rolled over and disappeared," Rutene said, estimating the shark was about 14 feet long.Pio Mose told the Herald that he watched the shark attack while fishing on nearby rocks. Mose said he saw the "huge" shark attack the victim, who was swimming alone from the bay back to the beach, about 50 yards from where Mose was standing.
