Who shot the President? This is the big question that needs to be answered – and we took it upon ourselves to compile a list of possible suspects. The Fixer, Mondays at 8:30PM.
This week the President was gunned down in what looked like an assassination attempt. Fitz and Mellie were on their way to a gala evening to celebrate his 50th birthday.
But shots were fired just as they got out of the limo and Fitz fell to the ground. Click here to re-watch the shocking scene again.
Here’s who we think might be behind Fitz’s shooting:
Name: Mellie Grant
Relationship to the President: Wife
Reason: Mellie knows Fitz is in love with Olivia. Although Fitz has recently become more distant towards her, Mellie loves being the First Lady. On Fitz’s return from the G8-summit, Mellie told him she thought he was dead after she didn’t hear from him for three weeks and said: “But a girl can dream.”
Does Mellie want her husband dead?
Name: Hollis Doyle
Relationship to the President: Lobbyist
Reason: Hollis was livid after he found out the President decided that Edison was going to be the new Majority Leader. He made no secret about it and threatened Cyrus by telling him that he has no idea what he’s capable of doing.
Could this have been reason enough for Hollis to shoot the president?
Name: Sally Langston
Relationship to the President: Vice President of the United States
Reason: Sally is an extremely religious and conservative woman. And she lost faith in the President after the Amanda Tanner scandal became known.
Would Sally kill the president in order to become the first female president?
Tune in on Monday at 8:30PM when all will be revealed. #WhoShotFitz
