The family dispute turned into a tragedy. Sunday, December 24, a 14-year-old teenager shot his big sister in front of a family home in Florida with a semi-automatic pistol, reports include CBS News and the BBC. In a statement to the press, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said a sibling quarrel was the cause of the incident.
It all started Sunday afternoon during a shopping trip. The 14-year-old teenager goes shopping with his other brother, aged 15, his 23-year-old sister and her children, as well as their mother. According to Bob Gualtieri, an argument broke out between the two brothers over “who would have the most Christmas presents this year.”
The brotherly quarrel lasted until they returned home. And the tension has not subsided at all. The 14-year-old teenager, very angry with his brother, grabbed a semi-automatic pistol and pointed it at his eldest, while promising to put a bullet in his head.
She had her baby in her arms
The protagonists are very quickly separated by their uncle. The 14-year-old child is put outside, in the garden. He then finds his big sister there, who is holding her baby. She then asks him to calm down. Furious, the teenager shoots him in the chest.
The gunshot alerts the rest of the family, who rush out of the house. The 15-year-old then took a gun and shot his younger brother, before fleeing. He was subsequently arrested and charged with attempted murder.
The 23-year-old woman was pronounced dead at hospital. Her child, whom she was holding in her arms, was not injured. The 14-year-old teenager who shot the fatal shot is in stable condition.
