    Removed under rule 1:

    “Not United States Internal News”

    A shooting in Florida is appropriate for News, not World News.

    The world should just sponsor gun ownership for Americans to accelerate their decline.

    When will people learn? If the baby had a gun this would never have happened.

      I guess the younger brother shot her, then the 15 year old attempted to kill his younger brother.

      The 15-year-old was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

      Seems like it could be considered self-defense though. Obviously one fucked up thing is that both of these kids were carrying pistols at their Christmas parties.

        The 14 year old is the one who shot his sister. The attempted murder charge is for shooting him in response and the tampering with evidence is for throwing his gun away. Hence: littering.

          Yeah, i figured that out and edited my comment. But no, throwing away a weapon you just shot someone with is not considered merely littering. Why would he think he could cover that up by tossing his gun? Tell the cops the kid shot himself I guess but that wouldn’t pass ballistic evidence.

            Why would he think he could cover that up by tossing his gun?

            He’s 15, just shot his little brother, saw his sister die and is freaking the fuck out.

            But yeah, he should have been better at pondering the ramifications of his actions 🧐

            I don’t think he did, I was just making a joke. That said, I personally would not carry around a gun after shooting someone with the police after me. That’s a fine way to get yourself killed.

              The most responsible thing to do at that point would be to stash the gun somewhere in the house, not leave, and wait for police to arrive. But I can see why he would be freaking out. And of course, who knows what would happen when the police arrive.

    You know, awhile ago the leader of the KKK came out and said they aren’t going to kill black people anymore because “they’re doing a fine job killing themselves” in reference in gang violence.

    I feel like a similar thing is occurring among the most trashiest of whites.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The 23-year-old was shot in the chest by her teenage brother while she had her 10-month-old son in a carrier, the Florida sheriff’s office said.

    The boy was then shot by his older brother who took out his own gun, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said.

    Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters the older teenager, aged 15, ran from the scene and tossed his gun away.

    The younger brother, aged 14, was taken to hospital in a stable condition and will be taken into custody when he is released, police said.

    Local prosecutors will review the case and decide whether to charge him as an adult for the killing of his sister, Sheriff Gualtieri added.

    He explained the mother-of-two suffered internal bleeding and was unable to breathe - but he added the baby in the carrier was not harmed.
