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.

The article gets way worse, "Littler said on the morning of 10 January his partner had asked her father during the Trump row:
“How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?”
Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much. "
Holy fucking shit.
Trump supporters are not good people
goodrealOh, they are very very real.
I personally know at least 10 people that are this person. I’ve been threatened with violence for voicing my opposition to Trump. Supposed Christians threatening violence because I don’t like their pedophile conman. They’re a bunch of little bitches.
Revelation 13:16.
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads
You’d think Christians would be more aware of walking around with a symbol on their forehead (maga hats), but amazingly it takes an athiest who actually knows the bible to point it out, and booooooooy do they fuckin hate hearing it.
I’d be embarrassed to use their own scripture against them, because it would feel like I was admitting to believing it when I don’t.
Its just a book, dude.
Literally no different than using quotes from lord of the rings to highlight the unsettling similarities between Saurons evil and GenAI.
This is how I know he murdered his own daughter.

Couldn’t even get a grand jury indictment. No doubt the local yokels closed ranks. Made up some nonsense about it being an accident.

Did you miss the part of the article with his answer to “what if I was one of the women trump raped”?
WHAT THE FUCK! THE GRANDJURY REFUSE TO INDICT? This total bullshit hang that motherfucking dad from a fucking tree.
After they have witnesses of him telling her he didn’t care if she got raped!
Texas, I swear to God. I am from there, all of my family is there. My daughters adore their cousins and beg to move there. Absolutely not.
My MAGA Dad raised his hand like he was going to hit me at Christmas during a political discussion. I was shocked. He is old and feeble, so I told him I would hit him back.

I’m on the fence on this one. How old are they?
On the visit home over Christmas, the idea crossed my mind of retiring there, and I got fairly homesick. I miss the arid, rugged climate. I hate the cold. Being close to family would be nice, and Texas could use more hard-headed, angry liberals. But it’s too dangerous until my uterus is old and broken down and while I’m responsible for other people with functional or soon-to-be-functional uterii. Texas also has water shortage on the near-term horizon from shitty resource management, so it’s best to wait and see where that goes.
But my point is, everyone wants to go home to die, right?

Harrison said he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger.
I do not like Glocks. Quite simply, I prefer pistols with a manual safety which Glocks do not have. That said, a Glock WILL NOT FIRE unless your finger is on the trigger. A Glock’s safety mechanism is on the trigger itself.
If you are going to own a firearm, GO TO TRAINING. Trigger discipline should be muscle memory so that even piss drunk you keep your finger off the goddamn trigger until youbare ready to pull. If the guy was trained in firearm use, then he 100% murdered his daughter on purpose.
MAGA is a cult and its members are mentally ill.
Yeah, if you are going to checks notes point your gun at your daughter, at least have some goddamn checks notes trigger discipline!
Dude admitted he was an alcoholic who had already had a bottle of wine before the shooting, and they couldn’t get a manslaughter charge to at least go to trial? Being drunk and accidentally killing someone is manslaughter.
This country is so fucked up.
In religiously paternalistic Texas, killing one’s own children is a God-given biblical right.
Unless they’re unborn! There is nothing more sacred than an unborn baby. Born babies can get discarded, though.
Have you ever noticed how the right always says the “left went too far” and somehow manages to push their argument by pointing to a single tweet or headline? Why doesnt that work against them too?
Because they don’t care about evidence or facts unless it fits into their narrative.
You can point to posts advocating for violence or censorship coming from their ilk and they’ll just attribute it back to the other side because “we wouldn’t need to if they didn’t do it to us first.” It’s just the abuser justification, “look at what you made me do”.
Or they will just outright deny reality, dismissing opposing evidence as conspiracies, exaggerated, or misunderstood. Did Elon really do a Nazi salute? “No, no. He was just sending his heart out to Americans!”
And when there’s overwhelming evidence that they can’t do mental gymnastics around? They shut down the conversation. They stop talking about it. They ignore it. They bury it. Out of sight, out of mind.
When someone is indoctrinated into that way of thinking and makes their politics a part of their personality, you are not going to beat them at their own game. Their sense of identity is tied to their beliefs and their ego will not let them accept anything that goes against those beliefs. They need to be deprogrammed.
It was a negligent discharge unrelated to the argument. This is a shitty article title and dad is a shitty gun owner and shitty dad tbf, but it wasnt political thing. You can really tell in the comments who read the whole article and who just started commenting. Even the summary doesn’t cover it right.
Edit:
Rather than keep rewriting, this dude is an asshole, however:
- There was no indictment by grand jury. That means they went through jury selection and heard evidence and a majority of the jurors were not convinced. Counsel for defense AND prosecution agree to jurors, so it’s not like it’s a maga convention or a police department.
- 500 mL of wine (if verified) is 2/3 of a bottle, not drunk alcoholic rage quantity see 1. If he blew like 0.4, it seems to me it would be reported as part of the article.
- The guy bought one gun and is a Brit, not a born and raised gun toting southerner.
- Reasonable doubt. While I’m as big an antifer as the next guy on Lemmy, nothing good comes from jumping to conclusions and misrepresenting the facts of the situation by sensationalizing the title or not putting all the information in the summary. Again, see 1.

This. Sounds like we grew up in similar environments, and I’m with you. Sleazy weasel-fucking bastards that shouldn’t have ever evolved lungs will use what breath they’ve stolen from perfectly deserving cockroaches and millipedes to excuse their ‘indiscretions’.
Do you seriously believe that guys story
“He said: “As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell.”
An alcoholic POS who recently relapsed and said he wouldn’t care that his daughter was raped is now drunk and showed her a gun and it just went off for no reason and he couldn’t remember if his finger was on the trigger…
Give me a fucking break… he called her into the room and shot her and made up a story afterwards
You can believe whatever you like, but the title of the article should match the content, and you should read the content before you decide. It sounds like you did read it so good on you.
Based on my read of it, there’s definitely enough reasonable doubt that I’m not comfortable saying this guy murdered his daughter based on the content provided. I updated my original comment to say why.
He pointed a loaded, cocked firearm, and pulled the trigger with a minimum of 5 pounds of force
reasonable doubt that it was a premeditated murder I will buy
Reasonable doubt that he committed manslaughter, no chance
And considering his quote saying he wouldn’t be too upset if she was raped because he has two other daughters I think the title is accurate…
