UK Inquest Rules Daughter’s Shooting by Texas Father an Unlawful Killing

The finding contrasts with a Collin County grand jury’s earlier decision not to indict.

Overview

  • Lucy Harrison, 23, was shot in the chest in January 2025 at her father Kris Harrison’s home in Prosper, Texas.
  • The Cheshire inquest concluded the death was unlawful because he pointed a loaded handgun at her even if it fired accidentally, and the ruling carries no legal effect in the United States.
  • A Collin County grand jury had previously declined to indict, determining the shooting was an accidental discharge.
  • Boyfriend Sam Littler testified that father and daughter argued that day about President Trump and a hypothetical sexual-assault scenario, and said Lucy was often upset by talk of gun ownership.
  • Littler said Kris led her into a bedroom before a loud bang within about 30 seconds, and the inquest heard Kris had undergone alcohol rehab and relapsed that day; he later said he was showing her his Glock after a TV segment.
