A 14-year-old boy allegedly fatally shot his older sister in Florida after a family argument over Christmas presents, officials said Tuesday.

Jesus.
The 14 year old brother shot his 23 year old sister.
Then the 15 year old brother shot the 14 year old brother, and disposed of the handgun.
The 23 year old sister is dead. The 14 year old brother is stable.
The 14 year old is being charged with first degree murder. The 15 year old is being charged with attempted first degree murder.
The sister had a child, which was not harmed.
Everything about this is messed up and tragic
...and preventable. Emotional teenagers should not have access to firearms!
Emotional teenagers should not have access to firearms!
Emotional humans should not have access to firearms, except under exceptional circumstances.
The US military knows this and it's why most people on military bases are not allowed to walk around armed, though they all have access to weapons when necessary.
This whole thing is tragic and beyond dumb.
It would be tragic if this didn't feel like reading a weather report.
It's also tragic because it feels like reading a weather report
The 23 year old sister had 2 children, one of which was already 6 years old, if my reading skills aren't failing me.
he's going to kill his uncle when he's like 12
This reads like a shitty math problem.
Jamal, 14M, shoots his 23 year old sister, Abriele, dead. Abriele had a 6 year old son How many years will it take for the 6 year old to be old enough to kill his Uncle in cold blood on Christmas? And what age will Jamal be?
The sister had a child, which was not harmed.
Arguable
Apparently the sister died from drowning on her OWN blood.
Anyway, merry jolly Christmas everyone!
The sister had a child, which was not harmed.
I thought you said "armed", and if only... if that kid had been packing he could have been the good guy with a gun who would have mowed down all the bad guys and saved the day.
What a wonderful family, with a lot of stable geniuses!
That family reunion is going to awkward AF next year.
