History
Before the zombie outbreak, Shane served as a police officer in Cynthianna, Kentucky. As Rick Grimes' partner they soon become very good friends. After being called out to apprehend a convict, they were caught in a shootout with the criminal. Rick attempts to run to a ditch whilst Shane gave him covering fire. Unfortunately the convict shoots Shane's gun from his hand and then shoots Rick on the right side of his chest. Thankfully the shot is not fatal, but renders Rick in a coma.
Feeling guilty for what had happened he does what he can to help Lori and Carl. About this time the zombie outbreak was picking up pace. Concerned for her son's safety, Lori decides to take Carl to her parent's in Atlanta, to which Shane decides to escort and keep safe until they reach Atlanta. On the way to Atlanta they are caught just outside of the city. Lori racked with guilt for leaving Rick behind confides in Shane, allowing herself to be caught up with emotion and be comforted by Shane. The support Shane gives her is the first she recieves in a long time ever since Rick's falling into a coma and the zombie outbreak. Eventually she has an affair with Shane, albeit left with regret for having let herself go ahead with it.
When Rick returned and found his family at the camp, Shane tried to resume his role as Rick's friend, but as time went by he became more and more jelous, until he and Rick had a confrontation while at hunting. At that time Carl, Rick's son shot and killed Shane.
Later on in the series when the survivors are settling into the prison, Rick discovers, sadly as a result of Julie and Chris's suicide pact, that it does require a Zombie to transform the living into the undead, and the next day sets of back to Atlanta to finish of Shane. Once he arrives he digs up Shane's remains only to see him turned into a Zombie, Rick then proceeds to say his goodbyes and shoots him in the head, finally letting Shane rest in peace.
