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.

    I hope you have the opportunity to build a family (via biology or social bond) that better lives up.

      I learned to be happy on my own, which is the best thing ever if you ask me.

      I don’t need other people to live a fulfilling life, and I hope I never feel like I need anyone but myself.
