Florida teen allegedly shoots, kills sister after argument over Christmas gifts - eviltoast

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.

    Agreed, and based on their rap sheets for car burglaries, a likely source of the guns.

    Which goes back to the two points I made in other posts:

    1. Any dumbass who keeps a gun unsecured in their car needs to be held accountable.

    2. When these kids were busted for burglaries, their homes needed to be searched for any and all stolen goods ESPECIALLY stolen guns.
