Lucy Harrison's father told police that 'gun just went off'
A UK coroner found Kris Harrison grossly negligent in his daughter's death despite no Texas charges; the shooting happened amid a political dispute involving President Trump.
- On Jan. 10, 2025, Kris Harrison said he showed Lucy Harrison a Glock 9mm semi-automatic handgun at their Prosper, Collin County, Texas home, and the gun went off, fatally shooting her.
- Shortly before heading to the airport, Lucy Harrison was in the kitchen when her father led her to his bedroom, after a big argument about President Donald Trump, investigators say.
- Cheshire Coroner Jacqueline Devonish concluded on the balance of probabilities that Kris Harrison had pointed the gun as a prank and pulled the trigger without realizing it was loaded, citing his history of alcohol treatment and relapse.
- The grand jury's 'no bill' meant no charges were filed under Texas law in June 2025, while the UK coroner's inquest is a separate investigative process with no criminal charges announced.
- Speaking after the hearing, Jane Coates said the coroner's outcome gave Lucy 'her voice back' and criticised Prosper Police Department's handling, while Ana Samuel argued the inquest felt more like a criminal investigation amid media attention linked to reported Trump-related argument.
