A TV Guide exclusive sneak peek video, shows shots being fired on the team. It seems danger is everywhere this season. The premiere episode, killed off fan favorite Shay, played by Lauren German.

Following the death, executive producer, Matt Olmstead, spoke to TV Line about how they decided who was going to get killed off:

“Going into it, we knew if we were going to do it, it had to be someone who was going to give us a big impact, as opposed to going for a lesser-known character, which would equate to a pulled punch. So, as opposed to approaching it with timidity, we thought we’d go for it... In the writers’ room, we have [photos of] all the actors in character lined up just as a visual reference. We went down, one by one… It’s like a roster of a sports team when you’re having to make a cut. You’re having to weigh the pros and cons of each one. Some we moved off in two seconds, said that wasn’t going to happen. Others we debated, but we gave everybody a day in court. We came back to Shay because it affected the most people.”
