Woman had argued with father in Texas over Trump before deadly shooting: UK investigation

A British woman was fatally shot in Texas after an argument with her father about Donald Trump, leading to investigations in both Texas and the UK.

Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old British woman, was shot and killed at her father's home in Prosper, Texas, following a heated argument with him over President Donald Trump. The tragic incident took place on January 10, 2025, and the cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the chest, as confirmed by an autopsy report from the Collin County Medical Examiner.

Initially, Texas police treated Harrison's death as a potential manslaughter case. However, the grand jury in Collin County ultimately declined to file any charges against her father, Kris Harrison, leaving the matter unresolved at the local level. The case has attracted significant media attention in both the United States and the UK due to its connection to a political discourse, as well as the familial tensions that lead to such a tragic outcome.

In the UK, authorities have responded by initiating an inquest into Harrison's death to ascertain the facts surrounding the incident. This inquest, which was opened at Cheshire Coroner’s Court in Warrington, will gather evidence and testimonies to clarify the circumstances of her death. The adjournment of the inquest pending formal conclusions underscores the continuing investigation, both in the legal and social contexts, and highlights potential implications for discussions on gun violence and family dynamics.
