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.

    Depends.

    Was it a p320?

    If it was, then its entirely reasonable and possible.

    if not, then 99% chance he shot her for insulting his god emperor.

      The P320 thing is extremely overblown.

      With some shitty tolerances a given model can be made to discharge when the slide is manipulated in a specific way with significant force. That is proven fact and I’m not disputing it.

      But a lot of the claims purport to have had this happen in controlled circumstances with no force or evidence of shitty tolerances, and is just as likely negligent people being stupid and seeing the P320 criticism as a likely skapegoat.

      Someone said it was a Glock but I can’t find details. Since it was a year ago that it actually happened it’s likely there’s news or depositions out there that gave more details. Either way the guy had been drinking boxes of wine, so it was either drunken rage, or drunken drunk.

        The article literally says it’s a Glock 9mm. It also says 2 500 mL boxes whoch he claims to have had 1. That’s like 2/3 a bottle, not like a box of franzia. I appreciate being a lifelong shooter (me too), but this was the dudes first gun, and he’s a British immigrant as an adult. All of it taken together, yeah seems like reasonable doubt to me.

        You could find the details by reading the whole article.

          the article is behind a paywall you contentious dip, I had to check other sites, I am not committing my day to researching the gun type, because that’s not as relevant as most of the ammosexuals in here want to make it. Chill the fuck out. If it’s that important for him to be innocent of deliberate action for you, go send him a cake or more boxes of wine or something.

            Get a better ad blocker, I don’t pay for BBC and I can see the whole thing. Also don’t be a twat, there’s no need for it.
