TRURO, MASS. (WHDH) - A white shark sighting off Truro prompted officials to close the water to swimming for an hour Monday morning, officials said.

A shark breach about 100 yards off Head of the Meadow Beach resulted in the beach being closed to swimming around 11:45 a.m., according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Sharktivity app.

The sighting came less than two weeks after a New York man was seriously wounded in a shark attack off Longnook Beach in Truro.

Earlier in the day, two massive white sharks were tagged off Nauset beach.
