Attack on Victor Stein

The Shooting of Victor Stein was a successful attempt by Janet Stein to stop her husband from killing their son Chase.

Background
After years of abuse at the hands of her husband, Janet Stein began an affair with friend Robert Minoru, who after the death of his daughter, became estranged with his wife. After several months of this, Janet planned to finally leave Victor, but was afraid on how he would react. Understanding Victor's violent nature, Robert gave Janet a firearm, in case of an outburst.

Unknown to Janet, Victor was suffering a brain tumour, slowly killing him. After bonding with his son Chase Stein over building the Fistigons together, Victor confided in him about the tumour. Becoming suspicious about his wife, Victor hacked into her phone, where he learned of her affair. He decided to get his revenge by publicly announcing the scandal at the PRIDE Gala, humiliating both Robert and Janet as well as Tina Minoru in the process. After announcing the affair, he succumbed to the tumour. However, he was resurrected by Jonah, a side affect of the resurrection increasing his dramatically, freeing him of his abusive behaviour, only for Dale Yorkes to discover the dopamine increase wears off over time.

Shooting
After several days, Victor's dopamine levels returned to normal, with him resuming his abusive behaviour. Coming home and finding Chase working on the Fistigons in his laboratory, Victor coldly reminded him that he was not allowed to be in his lab. Chase attempted to remind Victor that they had build the Fistigons together and therefore he was allowed to use the lab. Victor then scolded Chase, telling him that he had payed for the resources and put his time into the project and therefore the Fistigons were his. Chase became emotional and tried to leave the room, but Victor attacked Chase, only for Chase to punch his father, who promptly put of the Fistigons and shot his son. As Chase pleaded for mercy, Janet arrived and seeing what was happening, took out Robert's gun and shot her husband, who fell to the ground.
