Lucy Harrison, 23, was alone in a bedroom at her father's home in Texas when she was shot dead.

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.

    • Accidentally took the daughter in the downstairs bedroom.
    • Accidentally produced a gun.
    • Accidentally loaded it.
    • Accidentally pointed it at the daughter.
    • Accidentally flicked the safety off. Apparently it was a Glock
    • Accidentally pulled the trigger.

    …

    Color me suspicious but even if all that was just a series of unlucky coincidences, that man should be kept away from all guns for the rest of his life. At the very minimum.
