Hmmm, perhaps Loris did do the shooting. We know that AC supposedly missed T AND B, perhaps he didn't have it in him to shoot someone. Perhaps, Lori took over and shot Charles?
I am more convinved now that AC was duped by Lori (note the difference between their statements as to why AC was at Lori's) and he did nothing more than clean up (and thereby protecting) after his sister.

You’re comment “perhaps [Alex] didn’t have it in him to shoot someone” got me thinking.
Someone fired at Charles twice and missed. Someone fired at B and missed. And someone fired at Tammy and missed, Or maybe ran away without even firing. Alex was the presumed shooter all 3 times.
The odds that two shots would be fired at a grown man in the same room without even grazing them are a bit low. Even lower that someone would completely miss twice then land their next shot squarely in the victims chest. I don’t know what it means, but something seems off.
There’s no indication that Alex was a violent hothead prone to frequent fistfights. And when he decided to attack Joe Ryan he chose a taser. There are plenty of angry people who’ve shot bullets at their enemies in broad daylight. But how often are enemies tased? Maybe a taser was all Alex could bring himself to use.
When MG asked AC about JJ and Tylee’s whereabouts he said “you don’t want to know”. He didn’t change the subject. He didn’t lie that they were someplace safe. He didn’t express relief that their spirits were free now that the Zombie imposters were gone—like he might if he were completely on board. IMO “you don’t want to know” suggests a degree of regret or sadness. Emotions Lori nor Chad have ever shown.
When it comes down to it, no one in Alex’s life has come to harm unless they know Lori too. Then they die.
What if you’re right that Alex didn’t have it in him to shoot someone. I think it’s possible that Lori shot at CV, missed twice then Alex took over. But maybe it’s the other way around and she took the gun from Alex, shot CV and left Alex to deal with it while she heads out to buy burgers , flip-flops and an alibi.
I’ve assumed all along Alex was a monster or that readily did Lori’s dirty work. But maybe Alex was a reluctant participant, helping Lori out of a misguided, Lenny-like sense of duty. Or fear. And maybe he had enough and was killed not because L & C needed a scapegoat but to avoid him spilling the beans.
