Shark attacks
A metro east 12-year-old is recovering from a shark bite while on vacation in Florida.

Michael Wilson was wading in three feet of water Friday at Ocean Reef Park, when a shark sunk its teeth into his foot.

He has a fracture and some scratches.

They say the entire ordeal was pretty scary but the Wilsons still caught a Cardinal's spring training game in Jupiter Sunday afternoon before heading home to O'Fallon, Illinois.

Wilson even used his injury to get the attention and an autograph from his hero Matt Holliday.
