A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard.

Lucy Harrison, from Warrington in Cheshire, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 in Prosper, near Dallas.

Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old’s death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.

An inquest into Lucy Harrison’s death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner’s Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the “big argument” about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.

      I"m giving that piece of shit A LOT of leeway by assuming he wasn’t purposefully pointing the gun at her and rather just holding it to show. (That’s cutting about ten miles of slack.) If that’s what he was doing (doubtful) then he should not have had his finger on the trigger.

      My gut tells me that his MAGA poisoned brain, having the impulse control impaired hy alcohol, pointed the gun at her and his finger twitched.because deep downhe wanted to “kill the removed” that dared insult his gid emperor. The bang instantly sobered him up and broke his hateful trance. That’s when he started cryring for mommy his wife.

        Nah he’s a magat POS. They fantasize about murdering libs and anyone else who disagrees with them. He 100% shot her on purpose and then lied to make it sound like an accident. That’s how far gone these psychos are.

        I have had multiple daughters. Most have pissed me off beyond belief. I’ve went out shooting with them as well. No way in hell I’m pointing a gun at anyone unless I plan to shoot that person. That’s basic gun knowledge and safety.

          You also don’t have a MAGA rotted hatebrain. These guys (MAGA zealots) are mentally ill.
