28-Year-Old Spearfisherman Made Make-Shift Tourniquet After Being Bitten by 8-Foot Shark
"By the time I realized that he was not going to stop, all I could do was just throw my knee in between him and my chest," Chance Armand said of the bull sharkNEED TO KNOW Chance Armand was spearfishing off the Florida coast on Aug. 2 when he came into contact with a bull shark after he caught a fish Armand and his friends fashioned a makeshift tourniquet for his injured leg The spearfisherman said he only needed stitches for the biteA Florida spearfisherman recalled his scary encounter with an 8-foot bull shark last weekend that bit him in the leg. Chance Armand, 28, of Milton, spoke with ABC's Good Morning America about his ordeal from Saturday, Aug. 2, when he was spearfishing off the coast of Florida. He told the outlet that he had caught a yellow jack fish and hugged it to prevent it from vibrating in the water, which would alert the sharks underneath. He was on his way up to the surface when he sensed something wrong. "I looked down, and I saw this bull shark come flying up," Armand told GMA. Armand recalled to ABC affiliate WEAR in a separate interview that when he realized the shark wasn't going to stop moving, 'All I could do was put my knee in between him and the fish that was on my chest." The spearfisherman said he was with his friends about 20 miles out from Pensacola Pass, per the local outlet, adding that he had seen the bull shark for the third time that day. Armand later told GMA that no one in his group noticed that he was bitten by the shark. "I just told them there was a shark down there,' he said, 'and so my buddy came over to help ... fight off the sharks, and with his mask in the water, he saw my knee filleted open. And that's when he realized. He was like, 'We need to get everybody in the boat.' " His friends pulled Armand into their boat, Fox affiliate WALA reported. 'We were able to fashion a make-shift tourniquet out of a T-shirt, a speargun band and a fillet knife,' Armand remembered. Emergency responders were at the dock when the group's boat arrived, and Armand was taken to a hospital, per WALA. Fortunately for Armand, he only needed stitches for his injury, although he later told WEAR that he was more upset about losing his speargun during the encounter. He also told WALA that he was lucky there was no bone or artery damage. On Facebook, Armand shared photos from the day of the incident, including a few showing his bloody leg injury. 'Spicy bull shark decided he wanted my fish too on my way up from a dive today. Couldn't have asked for better people to help me out in the moment. Love what we do, but definitely a reminder to soak up every moment with your family and friends because a routine day can be your last,' he wrote. Armand, who noted to GMA and WEAR that there has been an increase in the number of sharks in fishing areas, said that he intends to have a proper medical kit on board for this next fishing excursion. He told WEAR that he hopes his wounds will heal by the start of grouper season next month.

She Was Forced to Share Custody of Their Daughter — So She Had Someone Kill Her Ex in Front of the Girl
A Florida mother has been found guilty of premeditated murder after authorities say she encouraged her former stepfather to kill the father of her child after the victim won a shared custody arrangement for the daughter they shared. Florida State Attorney Ginger Bowden Madden said in a news release last week that Rachiel Moore was found guilty of premeditated murder and tampering with evidence. Moore, 27, was sentenced to life without parole in state prison for the 2023 murder of Colby Vinson, according to Madden. Vinson, 24, was shot and killed by Moore's former stepfather Jason L. Curtis shortly after returning home from the grocery store with his and Moore's young daughter, according to the 2023 warrant for Curtis' arrest, obtained by PEOPLE. The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office warrant said Vinson was shot 'outside his front door' while he appeared to be loading groceries from his car. Police said Vinson had recently been 'awarded 50/50 custody' of his and Moore's daughter less than a week prior to his killing. 'The investigation revealed that Rachiel Moore, the mother of the minor child, communicated with her former stepfather Jason Curtis all week in reference to Curtis driving down from Alabama to kill Colby Vinson,' the Florida State Attorney's statement on Moore's sentencing said. 'Rachiel Moore paid Curtis gas money to make the trip and provided all of Colby's personal information for Jason Curtis to identify, locate, and murder Colby Vinson.'According to the warrant, Moore paid Curtis $50 for gas after communicating with him via Facebook Messenger. After Moore initially told Curtis about the result of her and Vinson's custody battle, Santa Rosa police said her former stepfather sent her photos of guns and knives, telling Moore 'not to worry about it.'Moore told police 'this looks bad for her' and that she 'didn't think [Curtis] would do something like this,' the 2023 warrant says. Moore later deleted the Facebook Messenger app from her phone, believing it would delete the conversation between them. Deputies responding to the March 2023 murder scene said they found Moore and Vinson's then-4-year-old daughter sitting next to her father's body, according to local WEAR. Curtis was sentenced to life in prison last year, according to the outlet. Read the original article on People
