Shark kills surfer off Calif. beach

By Jonathan Lloyd, NBCLosAngeles.com

A man surfing off Surf Beach near Lompoc was pronounced dead Tuesday after he was pulled from the water by a friend who told authorities the man was attacked by a shark.

The Vandenburg Air Force Base Fire Department responded to the 911 call at about 11 a.m.

The victim's name was not released.


The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department did not have details regarding the type of shark involved in the attack. The department planned to release more information Tuesday afternoon.

The friend pulled the victim onto the beach and started first-aid procedures as another surfer called 911. The victim was pronounced dead at the beach, which is about 60 miles northwest of Santa Barbara on Vandenberg Air Force Base.

In October 2010, a 19-year-old college student was killed in a shark attack off Surf Beach. Lucas Ransom was bodyboarding when he disappeared under the water about 100 yards off shore.
