ELENA RENDELL SHOT SISTER, 14, OVER CELLPHONE: COPS

BABYFACED ASSASSIN

A TWISTED sister shot and killed her 14-year-old sibling in a fight over a cell phone, cops say. 
Elena Rendell, 17, is alleged to have shot her younger sister Christina in the neck as they fought in their Florida home. 
Cops say that she grabbed a 9mm pistol from a shelf, pointed it at her sister and fired a single, fatal shot.  
Sheriff’s office spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn said: "It appears that the two juveniles were at home and involved in some sort of argument."
Neighbors told The Pensacola Journal that Rendell then ran from the house, shouting for help, screaming that her sister, thought to be a foster sister had been shot. 
Paramedics then rushed the girl to hospital, but they were unable to save her and cops picked up the youngster without incident.
Astonishingly, she only found out the news that her sister had died, during a court hearing for the shooting.
But she seemed unmoved, staring straight ahead as she was charged as an adult with manslaughter with a firearm, a second-degree felony.
The maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
Judge Ross Goodman rejected a plea from her brother to release Elena into his care and instead she was held on $300,000 bond.

AL CAPONE'S GUN FETCHES OVER $100K AT AUCTION

NOTORIOUS mob kingpin Al Capone's pistol has fetched more then $100,000 at auction, according to auctioneer's Christie's.
The $107,337 price is more than the $95,600 paid by a California collector for a pistol that once belonged to Depression-era gangster and bank robber John Dillinger and highlights the continued obsession with the onetime king of the Chicago underworld. 
Capone's empire was worth millions of dollars, raked in from illegal booze, gambling and prostitution, until his reign ended in 1931 he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges.
After serving almost eight years behind bars he went into seclusion on an estate near Miami, Florida, where he died of a stroke and pneumonia in January 1947.
The auction house says the gun was manufactured in 1929, the year of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, when seven people were slain during clashes in Chicago between Capone's gang and a rival mob.

It was sold along with a letter from Madeleine Capone Morichetti, the widow of Al Capone's brother Ralph, confirming the gun "previously belonged to and was only used by Al Capone while he was alive."

AL CAPONE'S GUN COULD FETCH $100K AT AUCTION

TO the man himself even today's $100,000 price tag would be little more than chump change, but you can bet he didn't pay that sort of money for the Colt .38 when he bought it. 
But the iconic gangster's nickel plated pistol is expected to go for at least that amount when it is auctioned by Christie's later this month. 
It is not known whether it was used in any murders although the one time king of the Chicago rackets was thought to have personally killed several people. A spokesman for the auction house Leonie Ashfield said: "We've had film memorabilia but nothing related to the actual Al Capone in the last 10 years."
Capone's empire was worth millions of dollars, raked in from illegal booze, gambling and prostitution, until his reign ended in 1931 he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges.
After serving almost eight years behind bars he went into seclusion on an estate near Miami, Florida, where he died of a stroke and pneumonia in January 1947.
The fascination with the onetime mob kingpin has remained well into the 21st century however, with high prices being paid for a number of items belonging to him.  
A bullet-proof 1928 Cadillac that Capone owned sold at auction for $37,000 in 1971 while a rare signed photo of him fetched $4250 in 1982.
This pistol is expected to fetch a whopping amount, possibly more that the $95,600 paid by a California collector for a pistol that once belonged to Depression-era gangster and bank robber John Dillinger.

Capone's revolver will be sold in London alongside several other items dating from the 10th century to the 20th century, including arms, armor and military items.
Among them is another notable gun being sold by a private collector: a .44 six-shot revolver that was once owned by Cole Younger, a member of the 19th-century James-Younger Gang, which included legendary outlaw Jesse James.
