The  news was first spread in 8th Apr 2008 in a website called sunshinecoastdaily. When the site claimed A bullshark was probably responsible for the attack that claimed the life of a 16-year-old Wollongbar boy at Ballina today.

Southern Cross University shark expert Daniel Bucher said recent sightings of bull sharks in the area, coupled with their tendency to hunt in dirty water close to shore, meant a bull shark was probably involved.

Five bull sharks were spotted recently circling in murky water under Missingham Bridge, only half a kilometre from the northern entrance to the estuary on North Wall where the boy was bitten.
