A Florida woman was killed by her teenage brother Sunday when a fight over Christmas gifts erupted at their grandmother’s home.
Police said that Abrielle Baldwin, 23, was shot by her 14-year-old brother who was upset his 15-year-old sibling was getting more gifts.
The teens’ fight started at the shopping center and continued at the grandmother’s home before Baldwin tried to separate her teen siblings.
“So they had this family spat about who was getting what and what money was being spent on who,” Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said.
The 14-year-old produced a .40 caliber handgun and fatally shot his sister in the chest. The woman’s 10-month-old son was in a carrier and was not hurt.
Following the shooting, the 15-year-old sibling retrieved a .46 caliber handgun and shot his younger brother.
The injured teen is expected to survive. The 15-year-old was arrested on attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
