 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A teenager who lost a leg because of a shark attack in Florida is recovering at home after 16 days in the hospital, his family said Wednesday.
Craig Hutto, 17, of Lebanon, Tenn., was attacked June 27 while fishing in the surf off Cape San Blas, Fla. The shark's bite nearly severed his right leg, and it had to be amputated.
"He made it home in two weeks, and that's a tribute to the doctors," brother Brian Hutto said during a news conference. The 25-year-old has been credited with helping fight off the shark and getting his brother to shore.
