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.

    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.

    Different people have different tolerances. Personally, I can be completely knocked out by that much wine if I don’t pace myself

    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.

    Let’s read the article

    He told the court that later that day, about half an hour before they were due to leave to go to the airport, Lucy had been in the kitchen when her father took her by the hand and led her into his ground-floor bedroom. Littler said he heard a loud bang about 15 seconds later and then Kris Harrison screamed for his wife, Heather.

    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.
