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.
Unironically, yeah. Daughter from a very anti-gun country comes to visit, it’s practically required to drag her down to a shooting range and prove that the 2A is fun.
My father-in-law insisted I go shooting with him the moment he found out I was one of those filthy gun-grabber liberals. I managed to survive the experience because he knew how to handle the weapons from years of experience. We had a great time putting a bunch of holes in paper targets, ended the night with a beer, and the whole time I got an earful of “See? See? Guns are great! You should be pro-guns!”
conflicted about how to feel about this because i’d probably be a gun nut if I was USian but probably not for the same reasons as the average republican
