Florida sees six shark attacks
- NBC's Frederika Whitfield reports. DAYTONA BEACH,

patrol the waters off Florida for small fish went after
much bigger prey over the weekend - six surfers. Three
were bitten Saturday and three more on Sunday. A rash of
attacks this summer has inspired fear in some beach-goers,
but two of the surfers who got away say they won't
hesitate to go back in the water...
