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.
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:
Different people have different tolerances. Personally, I can be completely knocked out by that much wine if I don’t pace myself
Let’s read the article
Literally right before they leave he physically leads her to the bedroom and shoots her. Reeks of honor killing
You can think whatever you like. It doesn’t seem cut and dry, even by known and overwhelming prevalence of Texas honor killings and alcoholics who are overwhelmed by 2 glasses of wine.
Indistinguishable facts from just an inexperienced idiot gun owner.
It was cold-blooded murder. The article is factual.
Then you apparently didn’t read it.
Pretty sure I did. An alcoholic man and a young woman enter an enclosed space. The man is a self-avowed pro-rape psychopath who confesses to shooting the young woman for no reason.
Whether it was an accident is dubious and irrelevant. She’s dead, he had a motive and no remorse.
Case closed.
Or can we kill whoever we want and claim it was an accident? Ridiculous.
As a lifelong shooter, I am extremely dubious of the man’s claims, he sounds guilty AF.
And as someone who is also an expert on raging alcoholic fathers from the South with poor firearm control, I firmly believe the guy is just a raging asshole with no impulse control and a heart full of hate, and he let the feelings win and decided to end his daughter in rage.
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’.
Depends.
Was it a p320?
If it was, then its entirely reasonable and possible.
if not, then 99% chance he shot her for insulting his god emperor.
Removed by mod
The P320 thing is extremely overblown.
With some shitty tolerances a given model can be made to discharge when the slide is manipulated in a specific way with significant force. That is proven fact and I’m not disputing it.
But a lot of the claims purport to have had this happen in controlled circumstances with no force or evidence of shitty tolerances, and is just as likely negligent people being stupid and seeing the P320 criticism as a likely skapegoat.
Someone said it was a Glock but I can’t find details. Since it was a year ago that it actually happened it’s likely there’s news or depositions out there that gave more details. Either way the guy had been drinking boxes of wine, so it was either drunken rage, or drunken drunk.
The article literally says it’s a Glock 9mm. It also says 2 500 mL boxes whoch he claims to have had 1. That’s like 2/3 a bottle, not like a box of franzia. I appreciate being a lifelong shooter (me too), but this was the dudes first gun, and he’s a British immigrant as an adult. All of it taken together, yeah seems like reasonable doubt to me.
You could find the details by reading the whole article.
the article is behind a paywall you contentious dip, I had to check other sites, I am not committing my day to researching the gun type, because that’s not as relevant as most of the ammosexuals in here want to make it. Chill the fuck out. If it’s that important for him to be innocent of deliberate action for you, go send him a cake or more boxes of wine or something.
Get a better ad blocker, I don’t pay for BBC and I can see the whole thing. Also don’t be a twat, there’s no need for it.
You’re not the main character here. Bye.
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…
