A 23-year-old Florida mother was killed by her younger brother Sunday during a family dispute over Christmas presents, authorities said.
The argument began when Abrielle Baldwin, her two sons, ages 6 and 10 months, were out shopping Sunday night with her two younger brothers, ages 15 and 14, and their mother, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said.
Baldwin’s 14-year-old brother was apparently upset that his older brother was getting more presents than him, sparking an argument, the sheriff said.
“So, they have this family fighting over who gets what and what money is spent on whom,” Gualtieri told reporters Tuesday.
The family eventually left the store and went to Baldwin’s grandmother’s house, where the argument continued.
While at the residence, the 14-year-old pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot his brother in the head, authorities said.
Family members present at the house tried to separate the teenager. The younger teenager then began arguing with Baldwin and threatened to shoot him and his 10-month-old son.
He then allegedly shot her in the chest with a .40 caliber handgun. The baby was in the carrier and was unharmed. When the 15-year-old left the house, he pulled out his own .45 caliber handgun and shot his sister in the stomach.

The older teenager fled the scene and threw away the gun, Gualtieri said. The younger teenager who allegedly shot Baldwin was hospitalized in stable condition and will be taken into custody when he is released.
Local prosecutors will review the case and decide whether to charge him as an adult for his sister’s murder, the sheriff said.
The 15-year-old was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
