Father Fatally Shoots British Woman, 23, After Trump Argument, Inquest Reveals
A tragic incident unfolded in Prosper, Texas, where a British woman, Lucy Harrison, was fatally shot by her father, Kris Harrison. This incident occurred on January 10 last year, just hours before she was scheduled to return home. According to an ongoing inquest, the fatal shooting followed a heated argument about Donald Trump.
Details of the Argument
The argument escalated after Lucy questioned her father’s views on various topics, including his ownership of firearms. Her boyfriend, Sam Littler, testified at the Cheshire Coroner’s Court, recalling how Lucy often expressed her discomfort with her father’s pro-gun stance.
On the morning of her death, tensions flared over the former U.S. President. Mr. Littler noted, “Kris and Lucy ended up having quite a big argument which led to Lucy running upstairs and being upset.” Lucy pressed her father on how he would feel if she were sexually assaulted. His response was chilling, suggesting his indifference, stating he had two other daughters at home.
The Shooting Incident
Approximately 30 minutes after their argument, Kris allegedly took Lucy to his ground-floor bedroom. Mr. Littler heard a loud bang moments later, followed by Kris screaming for help.
- Lucy was found unresponsive near the bathroom entrance.
- Kris Harrison was in a state of distress, screaming incoherently.
Lucy’s Life and Legacy
Lucy, a fashion buyer for Boohoo, was remembered as a passionate individual. Her mother, Jane Coates, described her as a “real force of life,” emphasizing her caring nature and love for meaningful debates.
Background of the Family
The inquest revealed that Kris Harrison had a history of alcohol addiction but did not attend the hearing. His representative, Ana Samuel, criticized the proceedings, comparing it to a criminal investigation rather than a fact-finding inquiry.
As the inquest continues, it is expected to conclude by Tuesday, shedding more light on this heartbreaking incident that has shocked the community and brought attention to the consequences of familial disputes.
