Dad shot daughter after 'arguing about Donald Trump'

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.

You know he argued it. Probably said his daughter went crazy and had Trump Derangement Syndrome.

He had no experience or formal training on how to use the gun and had reportedly never even shot it before. Pure negligence.

the linked article, or something else entirely? A "father" who says it wouldn't bother him too much if his daughter were raped because he has other daughters at home (someone should call social services)? Shaking my hurting head here.

Sadly, someone clearly wasted a heart.

but couldn't remember if he had his finger on the trigger. Only two people in the room. Who pulled the trigger, tiny flying monkeys? Maggie Simpson? Come on. I get we may not have specific intent or mens rea, but...whatever.

The big Trump argument is a red herring.

missing the part where 5 alleged witnesses weren't enough, unless they witnessed something altogether different than what these articles have suggested.

Or I'm just missing the part in the "heavily redacted police report" where the father and the DA are old frat buddies or something.

It's not that difficult to know where a trigger is, how a safety works, to not chamber a round, nor aim it at someone.

He murdered her
