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.
It’s perfectly on brand, really. This uppity woman didn’t listen to the man of the house, so he had to wave his gun around to remind her of her place. He was rightfully distraught at his authority being questioned and his gun accidentally went off while it was pointed at his daughter. The guy feels bad, so it’s OK. Plus, as he said himself,
killing your family and dying alone to own the libs
His true family was the magats he found along the way. How heart-warming.
