Lulu Gribbin,15, took a beach trip with her mom, twin sister Ellie, friends, and their moms. After a few days of beachy fun, things took a turn when Lulu became a victim of a shark attack. There were three reported shark attacks at two different beaches in the area, which officials believe were done by the same bull shark. Lulu Gribbin and her friend McCray Faust were both attacked at Rosemary Beach in Walton County, Florida. Lulu suffered severe injuries to her upper leg and hand. McCray had injuries to her foot and was later released from the hospital. RELATED: 1 Year After A Shark Bite Took Her Leg, Addison Bethea Bravely Returns To The Ocean The Bull Shark Is Known For It’s Aggressive Behavior Before Lulu and McCray were attacked, it is believed that the shark attacked a 45-year-old woman 4 miles away. She lost the lower part of her left hand and is in stable condition. The bull shark is found in warm, shallow waters along coasts and rivers. They can be found in fresh and saltwater and have been known to travel up the Mississippi River. Bull sharks are known for their aggressive nature, and the larger ones are probably responsible for most shark attacks near the beach. Ann Blair Gribbin, Lulu Gribbin’s mom, wrote about what happened that day as well as updates about Lulu’s condition on her Caring Bridge page. Lulu, Ellie, and their mom, Ann, came down from Birmingham, AL, to spend a few days with friends and their moms at the beach. It was the ideal mother-daughter trip. Lulu Gribbin’s Mom Knew Something Was Wrong The first two days were amazing, having fun on the beach with friends. However, on Friday, June 7th, as Ann was walking back to the beach after lunch, she noticed that everyone on the beach was looking at the water. She soon realized something was wrong, and she found Lulu. “The wound on her leg or all that was left of her leg was something out of a movie. I finally made it back to her and held her hand and she saw me, and I told her I was there. Her eyes were open. I had no idea how long she had been there or what had happened,” Ann wrote. The EMTs then loaded her on a board into a beach truck and then air-lifted her to the hospital. Ann and Ellie followed in the car, which was an hour and 20-minute drive. “We prayed the entire way,” she writes. “My friend who was driving was a God send for me and Ellie and knew exactly what to pray. All I could say over and over was please be alive please breathe.” When they got to the hospital, Lulu was already in surgery. She was alive, and her vitals were good. We can only imagine the relief they felt when they heard that news.

She had also lost 2/3 of the blood in her body. They were told she might need to be intubated for the next week or so and would need 4 to 5 surgeries to finalize the amputations. However, they were able to take the tube out on the 8th, and she was able to breathe on her own. “This was a first big step,” Ann wrote. “Once she was settled her first words to us were ‘I made it.’ And boy she did.” Once Lulu Gribbin woke up, she was able to share what had happened to her that day. She and her friends were at the first sand bar, about waist-high water, looking for sand dollars. The shark bit Lulu’s hand and leg and then her friend’s foot. A man then grabbed her other arm to get her away from the shark, and another young boy helped him carry her to shore.

We must thank God for the heroes who were there at that moment and knew what needed to be done. Ann goes on to say, “Lulu is strong, beautiful, brave and so many more things I can’t count. God has a plan for her, and we will be there to support her every way we can. ” Ann ends the post by asking for prayers for Lulu, prayers for strength for her and her husband, and for the other girls on the beach. “I know this was a terrible accident, but God was there and had the people there who helped save her life. Lulu said she felt God in the back of the beach truck. She is truly a miracle. We have a long road ahead and our journey is just beginning!” YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Brother Jumped in to Free Sister from Shark, Now Family Leans on God As She Fights to Recover We pray for Lulu as she heals and works through her recovery.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is upset with people mispronouncing her name, claiming that “idiots” purposefully call her “fanny” because it “reminds them of a woman’s rear.” Willis’ first name is pronounced “FAH’-nee.” The Democratic DA, who has charged former President Donald Trump with RICO crimes, spoke to a crowd of supporters on Thursday at a black church outside of Atlanta and tied the mispronunciation of her name to attacks on black women, whom she says are “oversexualized,” POLITICO reported. “I live the experience of a black woman who is attacked and oversexualized,” Willis said. “See, I’m so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as ‘fanny’ in a way to attempt to humiliate me because, like silly school boys, the name reminds them of a woman’s rear, of her behind.” FANI WILLIS: “I’m so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as ‘Fanny,’ in a way to attempt to humiliate me.

Judge Scott McAfee said the district attorney acted with a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” and he found an appearance of “impropriety,” but added that the defendants had “failed to meet their burden” of proving a conflict of interest based on Willis and Wade’s romantic relationship. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Wade resigned as special prosecutor after the judge ruled that either he or Willis had to leave the case against Trump. A Georgia appellate court is set to hear a challenge to McAfee’s ruling that allowed Willis to continue on the case.
