Father Shoots 23-Year-Old Daughter in Bedroom After 'Arguing about Donald Trump'
A fiery debate about donald trump ended with a 23-year-old british woman bleeding out on her father's bedroom floor. What began as a heated holiday argument spiraled into an alcohol-fueled catastrophe when a relapsed dad decided to "show" his anti-gun daughter his loaded Glock 9mm. Fifteen seconds after leading her into the room, a single shot rang out. Lucy Harrison was dead.
Her father, Kris Harrison, walked free. This is the savage, stomach-churning story of how politics, booze, and a bedside handgun destroyed a family in an instant.
- The trump fight that lit the fuse
Lucy Harrison challenged her father head-on: "How would you feel if I were the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?" Kris's ice-cold reply? He had two other daughters living with him, so it "would not upset him that much." Lucy fled upstairs in tears. Hours later, she was dead. A political disagreement wasn't just words — it was the prelude to murder.
- The gun obsession she hated
Lucy repeatedly grew upset whenever her father bragged about owning a firearm. She despised it. Yet on the day she was leaving Texas, Kris decided the perfect reconciliation gesture was dragging her into his bedroom to admire his Glock 9mm — the very symbol of everything that terrified and enraged her.
- Relapsed and reckless
Kris Harrison had been to rehab for alcohol addiction. He swore he was clean. But on january 10, 2025, emotional about his daughter leaving, he "briefly lapsed" — chugging roughly 500ml of white wine before noon. police smelled booze on his breath. CCTV caught him buying two cartons of Chardonnay shortly before the shooting. Sober fathers don't accidentally kill their kids. - Fifteen seconds from handshake to homicide
Half an hour before their airport ride, Kris took Lucy by the hand and led her into the bedroom. Fifteen seconds later, boyfriend sam Littler heard the bang. He rushed in to find Lucy collapsed near the bathroom, her father screaming incoherent nonsense. One gunshot to the chest. No struggle. No warning. Just a "demonstration" gone fatally wrong. - "I don't remember if my finger was on the trigger."
In his statement, Kris claimed he lifted the gun to show her, heard a loud bang, and watched his daughter fall. He couldn't recall pulling the trigger. A loaded handgun, alcohol in his system, and zero memory of basic safety — yet somehow this was ruled an accident.
- Grand jury says no crime
Texas police investigated the death as a possible case of manslaughter. A Collin County grand jury reviewed the evidence — and refused to indict. The only adult in the room with the gun walked free. The message? In gun-loving Texas, showing off a loaded firearm to your upset daughter while drunk can end in tragedy with zero legal consequences.
- A vibrant life snuffed out
Lucy Harrison was a passionate, debate-loving buyer for Boohoo — a "real force of life," in her mother's words. She cared deeply, argued fiercely, lived boldly. Now she's gone forever because her own father valued his "sense of security" more than his daughter's safety.
- The aftermath no one can escape
Kris Harrison admits he will "carry the weight" for the rest of his life. But weight isn't justice. Lucy's mother, boyfriend, and family are left with a hole that will never close — all because a relapsed gun owner thought politics and pistols made for good father-daughter bonding.
