Fatal Family Dispute Over Politics and Guns in Prosper, Texas

A deadly family dispute in Prosper,Texas, has cast a harsh light on how political polarization and gun access can collide in deeply personal ways. In January 2025, a 23-year-old British woman visiting her father in the U.S. was shot and killed inside his home after an argument over former President Donald Trump and gun ownership, an argument that escalated with devastating speed. The case, now examined in a UK coroner’s court, raises urgent questions about gun safety, alcohol use, and how ideological divides can fracture families beyond repair. On January 10, 2025, Lucy Harrison, a fashion buyer from Warrington,England, was visiting Texas with her boyfriend, Sam Littler. The trip was meant to be a family visit. Instead, it ended in tragedy. According to testimony presented at the Cheshire Coroner’s Court, Lucy and her father, Kris Harrison, became embroiled in a heated argument inside his Prosper home. The disagreement centered on U.S. politics, specifically Donald Trump, and Kris Harrison’s ownership of a firearm. Minutes later, Lucy was dead from a gunshot wound.
