A 14-year-old boy allegedly fatally shot his older sister in Florida after a family argument over Christmas presents, officials said Tuesday.
The teen had been out shopping on Christmas Eve with Abrielle Baldwin, his 23-year-old sister, as well as his mother, 15-year-old brother and sister’s children, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference.
The teenage brothers got into an argument about who was getting more Christmas presents.
“They had this family spat about who was getting what and what money was being spent on who, and they were having this big thing going on in this store,” Gualtieri said.
Just as the architects of the Constitution intended
At 14 and 15, both of these kids are too young to legally own a pistol in Florida.

So, yeah, pretty sure they aren’t concerned with the Constitution.
You’ve made an excellent point, just not the one you think
That those kids got the guns illegally and would have done so regardless of what laws were in place? That point?
EXACTLY RIGHT! That’s why need to outlaw Abortion, have speed limits, make fraud illegal, make murder and illegal and keep all other laws in place! Because laws DON’T WORK!
More guns in the hands of the other children would have kept this travesty from occurring. #hopesandprayers
'Murica!
The only thing that could’ve stopped this is a christmas present with a gun!
The 15-year-old brother came outside with his own semiautomatic handgun and allegedly shot the younger teen in the stomach, police said.
That’s Shakespearean level of Drama over Christmas gifts.
