Curtis, no! There were audible gasps from the rapt audience when Curtis Manning was shot in the neck by his friend Jack Bauer on 24. This took place before the sixth season of 24 took a turn for the worst, so all the viewers were still on board. Curtis, however, was not on board with Jack and CTU helping out a known terrorist who had been responsible for the deaths of some of Curtis's former compatriots.

Curtis had a gun to the terrorist's head and was about to shoot him. Jack, knowing the importance the terrorist had to national security, bit the bullet and shot his friend Curtis in the neck, killing him. It was devastating moment. Curtis had probably run his course as a character, but that doesn't mean a bullet to the neck was how he had to go.
