An argument over Christmas gifts turned deadly in Florida after a 14-year-old boy allegedly fatally shot his older sister.

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.

      on the actor who never chose to own a gun, so they have no reason to educate themselves about gun safety.

      He chose to take it, point it at a person and squeeze the trigger, so yes he had that reason and yes I can.

      Jokingly, I should add, he wasn’t instructed by anyone to take that gun and wave it around.

      The only people not having a reason to educate themselves about gun safety are people who don’t touch guns.

      All responsibility lies with their employer (I guess that’s the producer and/or director), who made them handle a gun as part of their job and should have given them the required training,

      Yeah, they probably managed to make only the prop guy responsible too, just like that actor. But I don’t remember the details.

      as well as the prop guy whose job it was to check the gun.

      … and about that person I’ve already said what I wanted.
