Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Thursday, April 3, reveal that EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) will suffer a gunshot wound before Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) makes a panicked discovery. Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) will also flee Salem, so here’s what viewers can expect.

Someone just entered the DiMera living room and caught EJ off guard, so he demanded to know what they were doing.

On Thursday’s DOOL episode, EJ will find out exactly what the off-screen intruder has in mind when they pump a bullet in him!

Days spoilers say EJ’s shooter will remain a mystery for now, but Chad’s main concern will be getting EJ to a hospital once he finds his brother.

Chad will fly into panic mode as he calls 911 and works to control the bleeding. It won’t be long until paramedics race EJ to the hospital for urgent treatment.

Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) will console Chad as he waits for info from EJ’s doctors, so that’ll bring an opportunity for them to grow closer.

Although Cat will wish it could be under better circumstances, she may enjoy being the one Chad leans on.

Over with Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens), she’ll deal with growing concerns about Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman).

Chanel may struggle to get in touch with Johnny and get worried once the news of EJ’s shooting spreads.

It could leave Chanel wondering if Johnny pulled the trigger on his own father.

As for Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow), Days spoilers say there’ll be some shady moments where she’s seen with a gun.

Kate will also have some updates for Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), so she might make an unsettling prediction about EJ not being a problem anymore.

Roman will ultimately check the locked box with the gun behind the counter at the pub.

Johnny pulled that gun out and contemplated using it earlier, but it’s possible he shot EJ and put it back.

As for Ava, Days spoilers say she’ll toss Melinda Trask’s (Tina Huang) weapon in a garbage can and flee Salem.

This will mark Tamara Braun’s final airdate as Ava, who may look suspicious as she gets out of town ASAP.

However, there’s a chance Ava will walk in and find EJ bleeding after the deed is already done.

Ava might visit the DiMera mansion with the intention of shooting EJ – only to find someone else beat her to it.

In that case, Ava might walk right back out the door before Chad makes that panicked discovery we mentioned.

If Ava fears she might become suspect number one, that’ll be a good reason for her to make a hasty DOOL exit.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say this EJ whodunit will come with plenty of curveballs, so stay tuned.
