   A Texas man will not face charges after gunning down his daughter after   
   they got in a heated argument about President Trump.   
      
   Lucy Harrison, who was visiting from the UK, died of her wounds after   
   the 23-year-old was shot in the chest Jan. 10, 2025 at her father’s home   
   in Prosper, located around 35 miles north of Dallas.   
      
   Her dad, Kris Harrison, who moved to the US when his daughter was a   
   child, admitted during an inquest that he was an alcoholic who had   
   relapsed and drank three glasses of wine on the day of the shooting, BBC   
   reported.   
      
   Lucy’s death was initially being investigated by local cops as a   
   possible manslaughter case but no criminal charges were ultimately   
   brought against the father after a Collin County grand jury decided   
   against indicting him.   
      
   She was traveling to the US with her boyfriend, Sam Littler, who later   
   told a court the dad and daughter had a “big argument” about Trump a few   
   days before he was set to be inaugurated for his second term.   
      
   Kris and Lucy frequently butted heads about her father’s conservative   
   leanings, particularly that he purchased a Glock 9mm handgun a few years   
   earlier, Littler said.   
      
   The argument started when Lucy pressed her father about an unspecified   
   hypothetical scenario regarding a woman who had been sexually assaulted.   
      
   “How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been   
   sexually assaulted?” she asked her father.   
      
   According to Littler, Kris shot back that it wouldn’t upset him that   
   much because he had two other daughters who were living with him.   
      
   It was not immediately clear how Trump factored into the back-and-forth,   
   but his callous response made Lucy “quite upset” and she stormed   
   upstairs.   
      
   Later that day, a few minutes before they were going to leave for the   
   airport, Lucy’s father took her hand and led her into his bedroom on the   
   ground floor of the home.   
      
   Fifteen seconds later, Littler said he heard a loud bang, followed by   
   Kris screaming for his wife, Heather, according to the outlet.   
      
   “I remember running into the room and Lucy was lying on the floor near   
   the entrance to the bathroom and Kris was just screaming, just sort of   
   nonsense,” Littler said.   
      
   According to Kris’ statement to police, he had been watching the news   
   and offered to show her his gun after a segment on gun violence.   
      
   “As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not   
   understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell,” he said, admitting   
   he couldn’t recall if his finger was on the trigger.   
      
   He said he had battled alcoholism including a stint in rehab, and that   
   he had been drinking before the shooting took place.   
      
   Police officer Luciana Escalera noted in her evidence report that she   
   smelled alcohol on Kris’ breath when she responded to the call.   
      
   Kris said he “fully accepted” the consequences of his action, and that   
   “there isn’t a day I don’t feel the weight of that loss, a weight I will   
   carry for the rest of my life,” in a statement through his attorney.   
      
   Lucy’s mother, Jane Coates, described her late daughter as a “real force   
   of life.”   
      
   “She cared. She was passionate about things,” she said.   
      
   “She loved to have debates about things that meant a lot to her.”
