Why Dad Who Ended Daughter’s Life After Trump Argument Won’t Face Charges

20

ADVERTISEMENT

A Texas father who sh*t and slain his 23-year-old daughter after a political argument about President Donald Trump will not face criminal charges, despite a UK coroner later ruling her passing an unlawful k*lling.

On January 10, 2025, Lucy Harrison from Warrington, Cheshire, was fatally wounded in the chest by her father, Kris Harrison, at his home in Prosper, Texas.

Highlights
  • A heated political argument regarding Donald Trump and gun rights reportedly preceded the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Lucy Harrison.
  • Kris Harrison claimed his Glock 9mm discharged spontaneously while he was showing it to his daughter, though he could not recall if his finger was on the trigger.
  • Evidence presented at the inquest confirmed Harrison had relapsed on the day of the sho*ting, consuming multiple cartons of wine prior to the incident.
  • Legal analysts suggested the decision was symptomatic of the "political climate" and conservative legal standards regarding firearm handling in Collin County.

Although the case was initially investigated as possible manslaughter, a Collin County grand jury declined to indict him.

Now, a legal expert has come forward to explain the reasoning behind the decision.

    An inquest at Cheshire Coroner’s Court heard that Lucy and her father had a “big argument” earlier that day about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for a second term later that month.

    Lucy was visiting her father with her boyfriend, Sam Littler, who told the court the disagreement became heated during a discussion involving g*n rights and s*xual a*sault.

    “How would you feel if I were the girl in that situation and I’d been s*xually a*saulted?” Lucy asked her father, according to Littler.

    The inquest heard Kris replied that it would not upset him that much because he had two other daughters living with him. Littler shared that Lucy became “quite upset” and ran upstairs.

    About 30 minutes before the couple was due to leave for the airport, Littler alleged Kris took Lucy by the hand and led her into his ground-floor bathroom. Nearly 15 seconds later, he heard a loud bang.

    “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,” he told the court.

    In a statement read to the court, Kris claimed he had offered to show Lucy his Glock 9mm semi-automatic handg*n after they had been watching a news item on g*n crime.

    “As I lifted the g*n to show her, I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell,” he said.

    He further admitted that he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger.

    Harrison claimed he purchased the firearm a few years earlier for what he described as “a sense of security” for his family. Under Texas law, no license is required to own a firearm.

    Kris also admitted that he was an alcoholic who had relapsed on the day of the e*ecution and had drunk three glasses of wine, per the BBC. CCTV footage showed he had bought two 500ml cartons of Chardonnay from a 7-Eleven store.

    The a*cohol consumption was confirmed after police officer Luciana Escalera noticed the smell of a*cohol on Kris’ breath.

    Despite the circumstances, Collin County grand jury declined to indict Kris, citing insufficient evidence

    A Collin County grand jury declined to bring charges against Harrison in June 2025, determining there was insufficient evidence to proceed with manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.

    The decision was analyzed by an Austin-based criminal defense lawyer and a former prosecutor, Lindsay Richards.

    “I honestly believe that the fact that he was not indicted and has not had any consequences for doing this is symptomatic of a very conservative county in Texas,” Richards told The Post.

    “The only thing we can boil this down to is looking at our political climate. A conservative county in Texas, and this was the result,” she said.

    She added that criminally negligent homicide would have required prosecutors to prove Kris failed to recognize a substantial and unjustifiable risk.

    “Certainly an individual taking a firearm, showing it to his daughter — and had to have been pointing it at her — that doesn’t typically happen,” she said.

    Richards further noted that a*cohol consumption should have been a significant factor.

    “He had been drinking that day as well. So that’s another element to this that I cannot believe was not considered in his criminal negligence.”

    She emphasized that Texas “stand-your-ground” laws would not apply in this situation because the fatal encounter did not involve self-defense.

    Lucy lived with her mother, Jane Coates, in Warrington, England. Coates described the grand jury’s decision as “baffling” and “beyond comprehension” at the time.

    She described her daughter as a “real force of life.”

    “She cared. She was passionate about things. She loved to have debates about things that meant a lot to her.”

    After the grand jury made its decision, Kris, who did not attend the inquest, issued a statement.

    He said, “I fully accept the consequences of my actions, and 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, and I know that nothing I say can ease the heartbreak this tragedy has caused.”

    “I cannot undo what happened, but I can honour Lucy by being the best father I can be to her sisters and by carrying her memory forward in everything we do.”

    “I am deeply sorry for the pain others feel from this tragedy. Lucy’s spirit – her warmth, her humour, her kindness – will live on in all of us who loved her,” he concluded.

    Texas is a weird place. If this had happened in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Austin, or Houston he would be indicted in a second. Those are big cities, that have a mixture of liberals and conservatives (some more one way than the other) but they are still reasonably sane. Once you get out of the cities, it's a whole other world. For some of those folks, its still April 11, 1861 and they want to keep it that way. They'll have religious music playing on the radio, Fox News on the TV, and pictures of Trump right next to pictures of Northern European Jesus.

    The dads gun shot story sounds very made up compared to what the fight was about. Why would he show his kid a gun as a reaction to a news cast? Also, he can't remember if he was observing gun safety with a loaded gun? With, apparently, the safety off? (If the gun had one?) This smells like last months yoghurt after a heat wave.

    All of a sudden he wants to show her a gun she knew he had and didn’t approve of, and it was accidentally loaded and accidentally pointed right at her and accidentally went off. OK. Obviously an accident then /s

    The amount of people who would have been all over this story if the politics were reversed who haven't had a thing to say is telling. I make sure I follow what is being said about news and politics from multiple perspectives, even checking news and commentary from people I disagree with (I feel strongly you cannot counter debate someone whose opinion you haven't heard out and given honest thougt to) so it isn't that I am just in too much of an echo chamber to see. A lot of people I know absolutely would have picked up this story if the politics were reversed haven't said a single thing. It shows not just bias or corruption, but how their audiences get radicalised. Only share the stories that make them hate and fear the other side, don't share when harm comes from your own

    Yes, one should hear all sides before judging. However, if it is legal to drink yourself s****d and handle loaded weapons, then I do not need the view of the one who shot. In the country I live in, and all surrounding countries, the possession and handling of weapons is very strongly regulated. Nobody here would get away with this.

    I took a gun safety course many years ago just so I could work through my fear of guns (I live in a state where ownership is not all that common.) The FIRST thing the instructor told us is to treat every gun like it is loaded, even if you KNOW it is not. Never point it at a person unless you INTEND to shóot them. He looked at us all very carefully and said "that's right... even if it goes off accidentally, you INTENDED to shoot that person, if you pointed a gun at them." It's stuck with me all these years. I can't imagine even pointing a gun with no magazine at a person. It doesn't feel right.

    Who the hell takes their adult daughter by the hand, leads her into a bathroom, and shows her a loaded weapon? Who the hell keeps a loaded weapon in the bathroom to begin with? Are people usually attacked in bathrooms in Texas? And his statement? That's so fake. He's not a bit sorry he k****d her. He considers it an honor kil ling. He's proud of it. I'm sure he's being lauded and toasted on batshit crazy patriarchal right-wing N**i websites all over.

    Even if, just for argument's sake, he shot the gun accidentally - the incident shows that he clearly doesn't know how to handle a gun and that people who operate firearms should somehow prove that they are familiar with him safety.

    I have owned and used various fire arms over the years. The first thing they tell anyone when you purchase a gun and take it to the range is: 1) always assume the weapon is loaded, even when it isn't 2) never point this at anything you aren't prepared to shoot 3) never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot 4) always be aware of what's behind what you are shooting. There's a fifth one, which is keep your weapon pointed down range at all times but that doesn't apply here. Anyway, I guarantee you dad here broke the first 3 of these rules and probably the 4th, as well. At a minimum, I think it's safe to say he was AT LEAST trying to intimidate her with the fire arm. But honestly, if he had his finger on the trigger, I think it's MORE LIKELY he meant to use the weapon. I also would argue this was premeditated. In other words, this was first degree m****r.

    We don't have the same information as the grand jury. If the government didn't meet it's burden the grand jury can't indict even if they think he could be guilty. This is a failure of the investigation. Procedure wasn't followed or the government rushed the indictment before getting everything in order.

    If the biased trumpie judges give their cult a licence to k**l all those who disagree, maybe the people should make their own justice. The second amendment does include self defence. Bring out a rope and some gasoline and justice can be revived, Latin American style. The judge should also be made to face the noose and hellfire. It seems it is the only way with these insane murderous evangelical crony "judges" and their almost-human clients.

    lol the people trying to play the "it's a cult, you have to draw a line between politics and family sometime" after spending the past DECADE telling everyone to disown their friends, siblings, parents, spouse, children for not voting democrat. You people are so transparently desperate to cling to ANYTHING that will validate the vitriol and hatred you spout every single day in service of transactional empathy. That a tragedy occured doesn't automatically indicate malice....and presuming otherwise based on a biased story from a very biased source, isn't the showcase of wisdom and morality you wish it was.

    I haven't seen anyone saying that. But I do know people who don't talk to family members because they are in the MAGA cult and insufferable to be around. Setting that aside, anyone who has owned fire arms knows you assume a weapon is loaded, you never point it at anything you aren't prepared to shoot, and you never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot. I think there's 80% odds this was premeditated homicide in the first degree. But at a minimum, it's a negligent homicide. Like, seriously, who points a loaded gun at their daughter with their finger on the trigger? That's negligence in the extreme. And it resulted in a death. Hence negligent homicide.

    Texas is a weird place. If this had happened in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Austin, or Houston he would be indicted in a second. Those are big cities, that have a mixture of liberals and conservatives (some more one way than the other) but they are still reasonably sane. Once you get out of the cities, it's a whole other world. For some of those folks, its still April 11, 1861 and they want to keep it that way. They'll have religious music playing on the radio, Fox News on the TV, and pictures of Trump right next to pictures of Northern European Jesus.

    The dads gun shot story sounds very made up compared to what the fight was about. Why would he show his kid a gun as a reaction to a news cast? Also, he can't remember if he was observing gun safety with a loaded gun? With, apparently, the safety off? (If the gun had one?) This smells like last months yoghurt after a heat wave.

    The amount of people who would have been all over this story if the politics were reversed who haven't had a thing to say is telling. I make sure I follow what is being said about news and politics from multiple perspectives, even checking news and commentary from people I disagree with (I feel strongly you cannot counter debate someone whose opinion you haven't heard out and given honest thougt to) so it isn't that I am just in too much of an echo chamber to see. A lot of people I know absolutely would have picked up this story if the politics were reversed haven't said a single thing. It shows not just bias or corruption, but how their audiences get radicalised. Only share the stories that make them hate and fear the other side, don't share when harm comes from your own

    Yes, one should hear all sides before judging. However, if it is legal to drink yourself s****d and handle loaded weapons, then I do not need the view of the one who shot. In the country I live in, and all surrounding countries, the possession and handling of weapons is very strongly regulated. Nobody here would get away with this.

    I took a gun safety course many years ago just so I could work through my fear of guns (I live in a state where ownership is not all that common.) The FIRST thing the instructor told us is to treat every gun like it is loaded, even if you KNOW it is not. Never point it at a person unless you INTEND to shóot them. He looked at us all very carefully and said "that's right... even if it goes off accidentally, you INTENDED to shoot that person, if you pointed a gun at them." It's stuck with me all these years. I can't imagine even pointing a gun with no magazine at a person. It doesn't feel right.

Are people usually attacked in bathrooms in Texas? And his statement? That's so fake. He's not a bit sorry he k****d her. He considers it an honor kil ling. He's proud of it. I'm sure he's being lauded and toasted on batshit crazy patriarchal right-wing N**i websites all over.

    Even if, just for argument's sake, he shot the gun accidentally - the incident shows that he clearly doesn't know how to handle a gun and that people who operate firearms should somehow prove that they are familiar with him safety.

    I have owned and used various fire arms over the years. The first thing they tell anyone when you purchase a gun and take it to the range is: 1) always assume the weapon is loaded, even when it isn't 2) never point this at anything you aren't prepared to shoot 3) never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot 4) always be aware of what's behind what you are shooting. There's a fifth one, which is keep your weapon pointed down range at all times but that doesn't apply here. Anyway, I guarantee you dad here broke the first 3 of these rules and probably the 4th, as well. At a minimum, I think it's safe to say he was AT LEAST trying to intimidate her with the fire arm. But honestly, if he had his finger on the trigger, I think it's MORE LIKELY he meant to use the weapon. I also would argue this was premeditated. In other words, this was first degree m****r.

    We don't have the same information as the grand jury. If the government didn't meet it's burden the grand jury can't indict even if they think he could be guilty. This is a failure of the investigation. Procedure wasn't followed or the government rushed the indictment before getting everything in order.

    It was accidental.. and something he'll have to live with the rest of his life .. All these people and their fake outrage is a joke.. those same faketards think it's ok to k**l babies in the womb... Young children and babies dying in hot cars... But it was an accident, I didn't mean to.... The little one that drowns... But I just took my eyes off for a minute.. it was an accident.. I didn't mean too... Now those people should absolutely be prosecuted!!!
