Jaws news report 3

After a meeting held by the Mayor, Chief Brody, and the Amity Board of Selectman, it was decided that Ben Quint, a local fisherman, would hunt down the shark that is believed to be the cause of two tragic deaths.

 Christine Watson and Alex Kintner both died yesterday in what was believed to be a shark attack by the same shark.  The meeting was held to discuss the matter further.

Mrs. Kintner, Alex’s mother, set up a $3,000 reward for anyone who could kill the shark.

The first question to be addressed was whether or not the beaches would remain open.  Chief Brody stated that they would be closed, which caused unrest with everyone attending the meeting.

After much debate and argument over the $3,000 bounty, set up by Alex’s mother, and how long the beaches would remain closed for, Quint interrupted the clamor by scratching the chalk board in the room with his finger nails.

Quint, who is well known among residents of Amity, demanded $10,000 for the shark to be killed. 

“I’ll catch this bird for you, but it’s not going to be easy,” Quint said.  “We got to do this quick…for $10,000 I’ll get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.”

The mayor stated over phone that Mrs. Kintner would provide the $3,000, and the town of Amity would provide the remaining $7,000.
