Ever since Johnny admitted he didn’t shoot EJ, the mystery behind the true shooter has grown on Days of our Lives. And while many suspect his shooter could be another younger DiMera, this fan theory may just make the most sense.
Suspects
Despite being innocent all along, Johnny (Carson Boatman) has been arrested for attempted murder of his father. All the evidence points to him, but EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) knows his son was telling the truth when he said he handed him the gun after confronting him with it that night.

While Johnny’s await remains to be sealed, many suspect it was young Rachel (Alice Halsey) who shot her uncle. She’s been traumatized ever since that night, with motive to retaliate for EJ taking her grandmother away.
Rachel is certainly a viable suspect, but there’s one part of the story many are overlooking.
And The Shooter Is…
What if the shooter all along was…wait for it… EJ!
After all, he was already beating himself up for the way Johnny learned about what he did to Sami (Alison Sweeney), resulting in his existence. Could Johnny’s final confrontation at gun point have been EJ’s last straw? Did the guilt become too much to bear and the gun in his hand seem too convenient? After months of mystery, did EJ actually shoot himself?

It may be the only way to clear anyone of the shooting, while also drawing in enemies who have since become suspects, like Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Rafe (Galen Gering).
