A Coast Guard helicopter is being sent to assist Solana Beach officials after a fatal shark attack was reported near Fletcher Cove this morning. A man was killed in the apparent attack, officials said.

The HH-60 helicopter crew has been dispatched and is going up in support of lifeguards and other emergency crews.

“It is not an active search-and-rescue,” said Coast Guard Petty Officer Clinton Dotson. “We will help clear the area … and see if we can spot the culprit.”

The Union Tribune has since updated its report, posting an in-depth story and photo gallery around noon. Check it out HERE.
