A British woman was shot dead by her father last year after the pair had argued about President Donald Trump earlier that day. Lucy Harrison, 23, was fatally shot on Jan. 10, 2025 while visiting her father, Kris Harrison, in suburban Dallas at his home in Prosper, Texas. Harrison moved to the U.S. when Lucy was a child.

Prosper police originally investigated her death as a possible case of manslaughter, but a criminal case in Texas was not brought after a grand jury in Collin County opted not to indict him. Her death is being investigated in Cheshire Coroner’s Court in England.

    I learned to shoot before I learned to ride a bike, and I think almost everyone who unintentionally discharges a firearm into another person should be criminally charged.

    • If you can’t consistently avoid pointing guns at people you don’t intend to kill, you have no business handling a gun.
    • If you can’t consistently avoid touching the trigger when you aren’t prepared to shoot or dry-fire, you have no business handling a gun.
    • If you can’t or won’t ensure a gun is unloaded before any further administrative (non-shooting) handling, you have no business handling a gun.
    • If you’re drunk, you have no business handling a gun.
    • If you’re going to argue about whether “nearly an entire bottle of white wine” makes you drunk, you have no business handling a gun.

    It’s a weapon designed to kill things. Treat it like one.
