Following the fatal shooting of a nurse inside her flat, detectives uncover atypical evidence, including forensic inconsistencies and unexplained traces. These anomalies cast uncertainty on whether the death was self‑inflicted or part of a more malevolent scenario and raise serious questions about the circumstances.

The Strange Shooting of Alex Pennig is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and centres on a single, unsettling case that unfolds over the course of its runtime. The story opens with the discovery of a nurse who has been shot dead inside her own flat. The circumstances of the killing are immediately striking, as the victim’s profession and the domestic setting create a stark contrast to the violence that has occurred. Detectives and forensic specialists are called in, and they begin to catalogue a series of odd details at the scene. These atypical findings prompt the investigative team to question the initial assumption that the shooting might have been self‑inflicted. As the inquiry progresses, the accumulated evidence fuels a growing uncertainty: was the nurse’s death a tragic act of suicide, or does it point to a more nefarious motive lurking behind the apparent simplicity of the crime? The episode leaves viewers with that lingering doubt, underscoring how the truth can be far more complex than it first appears.
