NCIS boss Steven D. Binder discusses the Season 23 finale's cliffhanger, confirming that 'someone was hit' during the shooting. Binder reveals that the suspect is one of McGee's colleagues, likely Knight, Torres, or Parker, with Torres being the most suspicious due to his history of watching his buddy closely. The showrunner rules out a death, opting for a more intriguing scenario where someone is alive and shot, similar to Gibbs' encounter with McGee. Binder teases McGee's conflicted reaction, highlighting the character's loyalty to family and law enforcement. The interview also touches on the return of Rocky Carroll's character, the director's chair, and the dynamics between Knight and Palmer, leaving fans eager for Season 24's developments.
