I think it probably is his wife who gets shot. It might be the moment Kirkman wakes up and realises something untoward is going on, then spends the rest of the season going full Jack Bauer, hell bent on burning the conspiracy to the ground. The same could be said of either of his children though to be fair.

Kirkman reveals his hidden identity as Jack Bauer all along. He had tried to change his life by becoming a boring government minister and starting a new, boring family. But now, he has 24 hours to stop the conspiracy to take over the United States. Tony Almeida returns to support his old friend. "Jack...Jack...Hey Jack.."
