‘Days of Our Lives’: Who Shot Harris Michaels?
Steve Burton‘s stint on Days of Our Lives looks to be ending very dramatically. After recently confirming his return to General Hospital, Burton’s Days character, Harris Michaels, is facing a life-or-death situation.
The action all went down on Monday’s (February 12) episode when a mystery assailant shot Harris. Ava (Tamara Braun) was the first to find Harris outside the Bistro, where he was on the floor bleeding profusely.
More help arrived in the form of Tripp (Lucas Adams), Stefan (Brandon Barash), and Wendy (Victoria Grace). Hospital assistant Tripp quickly put his medical knowledge to use while Ava continued to panic. At one point, Ava said, “This wasn’t supposed to happen,” which raised Stefan’s eyebrows. When Stefan asked what she meant, Ava replied, “Nothing.”
As for who shot Harris? Nobody knows right now, but Rafe (Galen Gering) and Jada (Elia Cantu) do some investigating. After checking Harris’ room, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) tells them he thinks Clyde (James Read) was the one responsible for the shooting and that he was coming after him.

The shooting wasn’t the only drama that went down on Monday’s episode. Elsewhere, the beloved Horton home, which has been the centerpiece of the show since 1965, was burned to ashes.
Much like the shooter, viewers don’t yet know who was responsible for starting the blaze. All that was shown in the episode was a masked man pouring gasoline all over the Horton living room before setting it on fire and fleeing the scene.
The fire alarm went off, alerting Chad (Billy Flynn) and Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), who rushed downstairs to find their home up in flames. Thankfully, Chad, Julie, Doug (the late Bill Hayes), and the children all made it out safely, but they had to watch their home burn to the ground.
While Chad comforted his family, he received a phone call. “Maybe next time you’ll listen,” said the distorted voice on the other end of the call.

Is the person who started the fire the same as the person who shot Harris? It’s unclear at the moment, but more details are sure to come to light in the coming episodes.
And what’s the future for Harris? Will he survive the shooting? Tripp managed to get him breathing again by the end of the episode, but the situation looks grim. Even if Harris survives, that doesn’t mean he won’t spend the next few episodes comatose and unable to share details about what happened.
Who do you think shot Harris and started the fire? Let us know in the comments below.

Yeh I totally felt so bad for Xander, I've grown to like the character. He's a wonderful father and I'd hate to think he hurt Sarah again with lies or deceit.

It's that female cop, she is on Clyde's payroll. I don't know what Zander was doing but they will try to make him go down for it, I think he is innocent he won't do anything to lose Sarah again.

I think the lady cop shot at Lucas and Kate. She had a soreness in her shoulder, said was overworked at the gym. I think maybe the new cop shot Harris, or Everret did the shooting. Everett was at prison and went after Clyde, But no one went after Everret, just Harris, Chad, and Lucas

Absolutely my exact thoughts. Why wasn't Everett targeted? Lady cop is the mole and possibly shooter for Lucas. Thank God Kate's a gun toting mama!! But pretty sure, even though it looked like alleged Xander, I think woman cop or Everett shot Harris .

OMG you're right! He's also been very quiet about everything (Everett). So both cops, lady cop and black cop, are they both on the take? Is that how you say it? 🤣 Although Everett is not a big guy, so I don't he set fire, that was a big dude. What if he did the shooting at the pub, and ... No, man hand did Harris shooting hmmm. Yeh Everett is definitely shady AF. Gotta figure it out. LOL!

I am really hoping its not Zander! He and Sarah need to be happy again. Is it me or does Everett seem a little shady? I also think its the female cop. Yet we all maybe surprised who it is

Don’t like him at all.

Everette’s been shady ever since he got to town. 1st of all Everette isn’t even his real name, 2nd of all he was married to Jada but he was using a different name at the time & I think that he’s the main one pulling the strings. Also, every time Steph tries to get Everett to go out with Rafe & Jada he has some kind of excuse. I also think that it was Steph that Everette was cheating on Jada with. I definitely think he was one of the ones who pulled the trigger or burned the house down & that female cop is involved in it too. Xander is innocent but why try to frame him?? Everette was the one who wrote the article & he wasn’t targeted really!! That’s not SHADY at all!! Guess we’ll see what happens.

I think Everett is off somewhere/ somehow. He's not right in the head we are going find out and it stems from his coma. I think before it's over he's going to go off the rails over Chad and Stephanie. Who knows- he might even be Nick back from the dead. We all know the dead have come back from beyond many times. I think Everett is definitely the bad guy in all of this.

Everett is Jada's x, I think he is guilty as Hell!

I don't think there ever was a coma, he was married to one woman, sleeping with another. He led a double life.

I think Stefan is setting up Zander. He has motive and opportunity. I also think Everrett my be Clydes son. Remember when he and Chad met Clyde at the prison? Clyde said "Lynch, thats a new one"

Stephan !!!

@Susiebq1, I don’t think Stephan did it because he was inside the bistro with Ava at the time of the shooting.

Seriously????? No he didn't. It's too obvious! The pants of the shooter and Xander's pants were not same. Rewatch. They are not. He's being set up.
