WHO SHOT THEM? Police Find Clues About Hospital Gunman After Nick & Noah Attack | Y&R Shock
A peaceful morning at Genoa City Memorial turned into a nightmare when two gunshots shattered the silence. Sharon sat beside Noah’s hospital bed, praying for his recovery after a suspicious car crash that many believed wasn’t an accident. Nick, exhausted from a night shift, stayed behind to watch over his son while Victor tightened Newman security. But danger was already inside — a man disguised as a nurse entered the hospital, a silenced gun hidden beneath his tray. At 11:42 a.m., chaos erupted. Nick fell to the floor bleeding, hit in the chest, while Noah, trying to shield his father, was shot in the shoulder. Sharon’s screams echoed through the halls as doctors rushed to save them. Victor arrived moments later, furious, vowing revenge. Detective Chance Chancellor began his investigation and found tampered security footage and a bloody glove. It was no random attack — someone inside the hospital had planned it all. Sharon’s trembling words haunted everyone: “Not my boys. Not again.”
As Nick fought for his life and Noah drifted in and out of consciousness, Victor’s wrath grew uncontrollable. He swore to destroy whoever had targeted his family, suspecting rivals from Adam’s allies to Jack Abbott himself. The Newman-Abbott feud reignited when Victor stormed into Society to accuse Jack, creating a scandal across Genoa City. Meanwhile, Noah awoke briefly, whispering that he recognized his shooter — “It wasn’t a stranger. I saw him.” Before he could reveal the name, his vitals spiked, and doctors rushed in again. That night, Chance found fingerprints on the bloody glove belonging to a missing hospital orderly named Matt Halloway, who had been romantically linked to Clare. When questioned, Clare panicked, revealing that Matt had been obsessed with Noah and acted out of jealousy. Victoria lashed out, accusing Clare of endangering the family yet again. Clare collapsed in guilt, confessing she never imagined Matt would take things so far.
Days later, tragedy deepened when Noah went missing from Sharon’s cottage. Blood was found on the floor, and tire tracks led to the industrial district. Then Nick received a chilling call — Matt was alive and holding Noah hostage. Victor transformed Newman Ranch into a fortress, declaring war on whoever dared threaten his bloodline. The search led Nick, Victor, and Chance to an abandoned mining site, where Matt demanded Nick come alone. In the tense standoff under the moonlight, Matt held Noah at gunpoint, blaming the Newmans for destroying his life and love with Clare. Nick offered himself in exchange, but before Matt could shoot, Victor intervened, firing a shot that wounded him. A brutal struggle followed until Chance disarmed Matt, who screamed, “You can’t bury the past, Nick!” before being dragged away. The family finally exhaled — Noah was alive, but the nightmare wasn’t over yet.
Back at the hospital, Noah recovered beside his wounded father, but his quiet words froze everyone: “Matt wasn’t working alone.” Someone from inside the family had helped him. Victor called an emergency meeting at the ranch, accusing everyone — even Adam and Clare — of betrayal. Tensions exploded as Adam fired back, claiming Victor’s enemies existed because of his own ruthless ways. Then, outside in the storm, a dark figure watched the mansion from the gates — Audra Charles, whispering into a phone, “Matt failed, but the plan continues.” Inside, Sharon prayed for her son’s peace, while Nick stepped outside to clear his head. His phone buzzed again — an unknown number. “You saved him this time, Nick,” a distorted voice warned. “Tell Victor the war has only just begun.” Thunder rumbled over Genoa City, signaling that the nightmare haunting the Newmans was far from over.
