Newly revealed body-camera footage shows Texas police responding after a father fatally shot his daughter inside his home following a dispute involving President Donald Trump.

Lucy Harrison, 23, was fatally shot in the chest by her father, Kris Harrison, on Jan. 10, 2025, inside his home in Prosper, Texas. The British citizen had been visiting the U.S. with her boyfriend, Sam Littler, and was preparing to return home when the shooting occurred.

The heartbreaking incident followed what Littler described as a “big argument” between father and daughter about politics and deeply personal issues, including former President Donald Trump and sexual assault. According to testimony at an inquest in England, Lucy asked her father during the argument, “How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?” Littler said Kris responded that it would not upset him much because he had two other daughters — a comment that left Lucy “quite upset.”

Despite the earlier conflict, the two later went into Kris’s bedroom shortly before Lucy and Littler were due to leave for the airport. Seconds later, Littler heard a gunshot.

“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,” Littler told the court.

Kris Harrison has consistently said the shooting was accidental. In body-camera footage played during the inquest, he told police the gun “just went off” as he showed it to his daughter after they had been “talking about guns.”

“She said, ‘you got a gun?’ I said, yes, I got it out and it just went off and she stood there like, as I pulled it out,” he said. “It went off.”

He also stated: “As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell.”

Investigators later confirmed the firearm had been stored in a locked box in a bedside cabinet. Kris said he had taken it out to show Lucy following a news segment on gun violence.

At the time of the shooting, Kris Harrison admitted he had relapsed in his struggle with alcoholism and had been drinking earlier that day. A responding officer reported smelling alcohol on his breath.

In February 2026, Cheshire Coroner Jacqueline Devonish ruled Lucy’s death “unlawful,” finding that Kris had pointed the loaded weapon at his daughter and pulled the trigger without checking for bullets. While she accepted there was no intent to kill, she called his conduct “truly exceptionally bad and reprehensible so as to amount to gross negligence.”

Despite the coroner’s findings, a Texas grand jury previously declined to indict Kris Harrison, meaning he will not face criminal charges in the United States.

In a statement, Kris said he “fully accepted” responsibility and that “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.”

Lucy’s mother, Jane Coates, described her daughter as passionate and full of life. “She cared. She was passionate about things,” she said. “She loved to have debates about things that meant a lot to her.”

After the inquest ruling, Coates said the outcome had “finally given Lucy her voice back after what has been an unrelenting year of deep shock, grief and fight.”

What began as a family disagreement ended in irreversible tragedy — a reminder of how quickly conflict, alcohol, and firearms can combine with devastating consequences.
