Abrielle Baldwin, 23, was shot in the chest by one brother while she had her 10-month-old son in a carrier, the Florida sheriff's office said. The brother was then shot by their other sibling, who pulled his own gun, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said. It added that the shooting followed an argument over who was getting more presents. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters the older teenager, who is 15, ran from the scene and tossed his gun away.
The original shooter who was shot by his brother, survived and is in the hospital. Police are weighing whether he will be charged as an adult — he’s only 14. Both brothers face charges.
Their sister, a mother of two, died from her wound; her child was not injured.
This CBS report has more details. They don’t make the story any less troubling or less tragic.
But as to why things like this keep happening in America, do we really need to ask?
