As reported by BBC News, the inquest said that Kris Harrison had previously been to rehab for alcohol addiction.

Kris Harrison admitted in a statement sent to the court that he had relapsed on the day of the shooting and had drunk about 500ml of white wine.

Lucy’s boyfriend, Sam Littler, who travelled to the US with her for the holiday, described the "big argument" about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.

Littler said the victim would often become upset with her father when he spoke about owning a gun.

According to Littler, the deceased had asked her father during the Trump row: "How would you feel if I were the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?"

He told the court that about half an hour before they were due to leave for the airport, Lucy’s father took her by the hand from the kitchen and led her into his ground-floor bedroom.

Littler said he heard a loud bang about 15 seconds later, and then Kris Harrison screamed for his wife, Heather.
