Why was Alex shot (spoilers, maybe)...


...By Arthur Layton? Does anybody know why Arthur Layton shot Alex, I know it wasn't a coincidence due to the whole thing that Arthur knew and was helped by Alex's father back in the '80's, but I can't figure out why 20-odd years later he decided to go after her?

I still want to know who Arthur was talking too!

Layton was down on his luck & was needing money so he called Evan to blackmail him into giving him money or else he was going to tell Alex how her parents really died. I think Layton didn't get the answer he wanted from Evan which irritated him, as was Alex, so he shot her out of frustration & anger
