Overview
- Lucy Harrison, 23, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 at her father's home in Prosper, Texas, the day before she was due to fly back to the UK.
- Her boyfriend told the court there was a 'big argument' about President Donald Trump that morning and said Kris Harrison led Lucy into a bedroom before a loud bang was heard about 15 seconds later.
- In a written statement, Kris Harrison said the handgun went off as he showed his daughter a Glock 9mm he kept in a bedside cabinet and said he could not recall if his finger was on the trigger.
- Medical and police evidence presented to the inquest described a medium‑range shot fired by another person, confirmed Lucy had no alcohol in her system, and noted officers smelled alcohol on Mr Harrison as CCTV showed him buying wine; he admitted drinking about 500ml earlier that day.
- A Texas grand jury declined to bring charges in June 2025, and the UK inquest is a fact‑finding process with conclusions expected shortly.
