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.

    I’ve visited many places both home and abroad and not participated in politics? What does that mean?

      I mean if something goes wrong and you find yourself in court then you are still at the mercy of the politics of the state of Texas.
