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.

    15-year-old brother and sister’s children

    This sentence is a great argument for the Oxford comma.

      The sentence is a great argument for editorial oversight. How’d a copy editor let that go to print???

        There are 2 brothers and 1 sister, who has her own child.

        14 year old brother shoots 23 year old sister.

        15 year old brother shoots 14 year old brother in retaliation.

        Writing isn’t difficult, but most journalists suck donkey shit at what they do.

      This isn’t a series. Oxford commas are for a series.

        I got a little lazy with the copy/paste. The first item of the series isn’t in the quote.
