Review case of Warrington woman shot by father in Texas, says MP
A British MP is urging the government to pressure Texas authorities to reopen the case of Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old woman shot dead by her father in 2025. Despite a UK coroner ruling the death an unlawful killing, a Texas grand jury declined to indict the father, citing the incident as an accidental shooting.

The case highlights significant jurisdictional and legal discrepancies between the UK and US regarding gun violence and criminal accountability.
