A Texas man who fatally shot his 23-year-old daughter at his home in Prosper in January 2025 will not face criminal charges in the United States, despite a UK coroner ruling the death an “unlawful killing.”
Lucy Harrison, a British national, died after her father, Kris Harrison, discharged a firearm during an incident at his residence. A Collin County grand jury declined to indict him, and no charges were filed under Texas law. In February 2026, a UK inquest concluded the shooting resulted from grossly negligent handling of a weapon.
The case has circulated widely online, with some viral posts claiming the shooting followed a heated political argument. While testimony referenced earlier disagreements, no U.S. court has established a political motive as the legal cause of the shooting. The case highlights differences between U.S. and UK legal standards in fatal gun investigations.
