Police said they fired shots at the shark after   a man was fatally bitten at Muriwai beach located around 40km northwest   of Auckland, one of many beaches dotted along the North Island's west   coast that are known for their wild surf.
Rescue crews were quoted by local media as   saying the shark was a “white pointer”, commonly known as a great white,   measuring roughly 4 metres long. Witnesses said a rescue helicopter   also fired shots at the shark.
“We saw the shark fin, and the next minute,   boom, the attack came. There was blood everywhere on the water,” eye   witness Pio Mosie was quoted by local news website Stuff.co.nz as   saying.
“They fired six or seven shots to the shark,   three from the police helicopter and a few shots from the lifeguard. I   don't know if they killed the shark or not,” he added.
The head of the local volunteer lifeguard   service was quoted as saying they had confirmed that “one or two” sharks   were spotted, but none had been seen since the man's body was removed   from the water.

                                                                               Shark attacks are rare in New Zealand, where   water sports and beach holidays are a rite of summer. More than 60 shark   species are known to swim in the country's waters.
Fourteen fatal attacks have been reported since   records began around 1837, according to the country's Department of   Conservation, which added that non-fatal shark attacks average roughly   two each year.
The last attack linked with a death was in   2009, when a kayaker was mauled by a great white in the nearby   Coromandel Peninsula, although whether the victim drowned before the   attack has been disputed.
According to the International Shark Attack   File, 11 sharkfatalities were reported last year, including three in   Australia and South Africa, nearly tripling from 2001. - Reuters

I donot understand why there is this passion for killing sharks. It is the saddest hing in the world. Does mankind not understand what a delicate balance we have in nature, It is amazing that we have some naturl resorces left. If man was left to their own device al the perditors would be cone and then this would have a ripple effect on the rest of our fisheries. I feel sorry for the family of the attack victim. But whaen we decide to go into the water we need to understand that we are entering into the natural environment of the Shark. We are not suprised when a person is attacked and killed in a game park because they got out of their vehicle, the same should be true of the water. We enter in at our own risk, and yes sometimes terrible things happen and we wonder why.
