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.

    Another sacrifice to the god of guns.

    Every time something like this happens, gunbrains will explain why it’s the result of stupidity. But that’s just copeum because they need to believe that their choices aren’t putting their families at risk.

      You just want them to give up their guns in case so the government can take over and they’ll be left defenseless! /s

      I mean, as you can see … they’re definitely using their guns to fight against this current tyrannical government rather than killing family members defending this fascist government from criticism from family members … 👀
