Multiple people were injured in a shark attack while on a beach in Texas on the Fourth of July, authorities confirmed.

The South Padre Island Police Department and the U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area confirmed to Fox News Digital that four people were injured during the encounter with the ocean predator on South Padre Island in the state’s southern coast.

Police said that the attacks happened at approximately 11 a.m. local time along Beach Access 14, near Wanna Wanna Beach Bar and Grill.

Game Warden Capt. Chris Dowdy told The Associated Press that the attacks happened in the span of two hours along the beach.

Based on witness reports and images on social media, Dowdy said, authorities believe a single shark about 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) long was responsible.

Video posted on social media appeared to show a badly injured person being pulled onshore following the attack. Blood could be seen in the water as panicked beachgoers burst into tears. Several bystanders appeared to collect a belt to use as a tourniquet. 

Law enforcement said that they are patrolling the shore for sharks.

Evacuation orders have been issued for the Mt. Baldy Ski resort as firefighters battle fast-moving wildfire burning in steep terrain, authorities announced.  

“Mt. Baldy Ski Resort Lift#1 is open to for hikers to assist in evacuation,” SBSC fire officials said in a post to X, formerly Twitter. “There are NO evacuations orders or warnings for the community of Mt. Baldy.”  

The “Vista Fire,” which was burning just northwest of Lytle Creek, was first reported at around 10 a.m., with crews from the San Bernadino County Department assisting crews from the San Bernardino National Forest Service. 

At that time, fire officials said the blaze, which was not threatening homes, was at 9 acres.  

In an update just before 3 p.m. by officials at Cal Fire, the wildfire had grown to some 100 acres.

Officials said that more than 250 firefighting personnel have been assigned to the Vista Fire. So far, there have been no reports of any injuries.  

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
