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.

      San Antonio is a shit-hole full of rich white people who fucking LOVE jebus

      Edit: Oh and the “river” is a fucking concrete drainage ditch. Literally pathetic.

        As someone who LIVES in San Antonio, bullshit. San Antonio is an awesome city.

        It also houses one of the chapters for the Democratic Socialists of America and is exceptionally purple in political spectrum.

        Relatable… I had an apartment in Studio City right on the LA River. It wasn’t even the cool part of the river you see in movies. I used to jokingly call it my waterfront property.

          I think Lemmy is one of the problems honestly. I see some batshit crazy mental gymnastics on here.

      There’s also Houston, the largest city in the state. Houston is alright, mostly.

        Houston’s all right except for the sprawl and the terrible climate, that is. Well, that and a homicide rate 75% higher than that in Los Angeles.
