thursday was also sent to the hospital. a third swimmer says he was nipped in the foot tuesday but it didn't break the skin.these incidents has the national park service posting signs warning people of the danger and say the cove is closed to swimmers until at least monday. at this point they do not know if it's a seal or a sea lion involved in this incidents but many suspect these attacks are the work of one particular animal. we don't know if the seals disease or not we really haven't seen the seal but i just think that it makes sense to use a little caution in this area so that more people are injuredboth the south end rowing club and the neighboring dolphin club are also asking their members to stay out of the water. before the cove was closed, hard core swimmers still went out in the water, even though they witnessed the aftermath of today's attack.were in their home just like if you were in a park and you saw someone get bit by a dog you wouldn't avoid going back to the park the next dayalthough some were more cautious than usual.i was never worried but now i'm like, i don't know i'm not sure i want to be bit so i stayed in closer todaythe national park service says they will evaulate the situation after the weekend and determine if the need to close the cove to swimmers beyond monday.....but they are hopeful the problem animal swims somewhere else. maureen kelly kron4 news

catherine heenan is here with the latest..

concern about the health of senator john mccain - who's being treated for brain cancer. his staff indicates he'll make every effort to attend the vote next week. senator thad cochran has also had health problems - but he reportedly will be well enough to be there. among the details of the new bill -- it doubles the current tax credit for children... it also makes it available to a greater number of middle and upper income families. steve and vicki?

he bit me on the right foot on the way back on the way back same same creature probably slap my left foot a couple times so yes at that point my heart rate started getting increased but i try to stay calm and focus on getting back to shore because i was about a quarter-mile away fromthe bite didn't break his skin.....jakobsson is a professional swimmer who is training to swim the english channel....in nearly 20 years of open water swimming, this is his first encounter like this with wildlife so he has no plans to stick to pools forever. but he does think it's a good idea that the national park service is closing the area, since the other two victims, one bitten thursday the other this morning, have had to be transported to the hospital for treatment.at this point at this point that would be the safer route to go, we have to figure out what's going on and take measurements to protect our swimmers that tackle that attack on thursday was bad right now it's suspected that only one animal is responsible for all of the attacks.this is an usual thing this is an on usual way for a marine mammal to act so i would tend to think maybe it's the same one but i don't really have any evidence for thatthe national park service will evaluate wheter or not to reopen the cove to swimming on monday. maureen kelly kron4 news
