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.

"Harrison said he had bought the gun a couple of years before because he wanted a "sense of security" for his family."

Top notch job on the family security.

You misunderstand. He wanted his own "sense of security". He doesn't actually give a shit about his family.

She was shot in the chest and they didn't think it was enough proof for a "possible manslaughter"?

Jesus jumped up christ, what a total shitbag of a parent. I wish there was a hell so he could toast for a bit.
