Extra Time: What to make of recent shark attack, sightings in New York City

NEW YORK (WABC) -- In this edition of 'Eyewitness News Extra Time,' we begin with troubled waters off the south shore of Long Island.

Authorities spotted a shark at about 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday at Jones Beach.

By that afternoon, drones spotted two more sharks.

Drone patrols were beefed up earlier this summer after a string of shark bites off Long Island.

This, of course, comes after Monday's frightening attack off Rockaway Beach.

Doctors upgraded the victim's condition after she was listed in critical condition following the scare.

Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett spoke with Hans Walter of the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium, who says it's tough to gauge individual shark attacks.

Here are the other major headlines from Tuesday's show:
