An “aggressive” great white shark was spotted in the waters off Huntington Beach on Tuesday, prompting the closure of a popular surfing spot. The Huntington Beach Fire Department said in statement Tuesday afternoon that a roughly 10- to 12-foot great white shark exhibiting “aggressive behavior” was seen near Lifeguard Tower 16. Derek Peters, marine safety battalion chief with the department, told The Times the beach was closed after a report around 3 p.m. from a foilboard surfer of a shark circling about 300 feet offshore. Chris Lowe, director of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab, posited to The Times on Tuesday night that the great white was an adult that might have been hunting for elephant seals. As swimmers are warned away, Lowe said his researchers will head to the area on Wednesday with drones and other tracking methods to try to confirm the sighting. The surfer who made the report was not bumped, bitten or otherwise hurt by the shark, Peters said.

Encore revenues are dropping as workers continue to strike
Casino revenues were down slightly more than 20 percent in September at Encore Boston Harbor, as gamblers shied away from the resort amid an ongoing strike by its workers. The year-over-year decline is the first concrete indication that the labor dispute — now approaching its second full month — is affecting Encore’s business. Picketing workers have been stationed around the clock outside of the facility throughout the strike, which has driven off some potential patrons. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s monthly casino revenue reports show that the casino’s gross revenue from table and slot games was $46.1 million, a a roughly 22 percent decrease from last year. The slowdown at the state’s largest casino will also be felt on Beacon Hill. The state’s cut of revenue from the Everett casino was $11.5 million in September, down from $14.8 million a year earlier. Other Massachusetts casinos posted relatively stable year-over-year numbers. MGM Springfield pulled in slightly less this September, with $22 million in revenue, and Plainridge Park Casino brought in slightly more than last September, with $14.6 million.

Enter EmailOn Thursday, picture day for Silver Rail’s 450 students, the teenage gunman jumped a chain-link fence, shot through a locked side entrance, and opened fire in a special education classroom. A teacher wrestled with him, and a father of two students saw what was happening as he was driving by on his lunch break, pursued the gunman into the school, and fatally shot him with a handgun. The attacker, Griffin J. John II, had been a special education pupil at Silver Rail several years earlier, though investigators have not yet said where or whether he was in school at the time of the shooting. This week, the Silver Rail campus remained cordoned with yellow police tape, and the sidewalk outside was carpeted with flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, candles, and notes of grief.
