The 911 call came in just before 1:30 p.m., for an 11-year old girl who may have suffered a shark bite to her left foot at spot known as “Rainbows” in Ka‘a‘awa (across from the back gate to Kualoa Ranch). The child suffered non-life threatening injuries.  The patient’s parents declined EMS transport to an emergency room. A witness described seeing what appeared to be a small reef shark in the area.
