I think Ben shot Locke because he was protecting himself.
But if Locke healed from paralysis while on the island, is it possible he'll heal from the gunshot wound? Will he heal and be the key that destroys Ben and his camp?
Who the hell knows, all I know is that episode blew my mind, and Lost is back in a big way.

Yeah, it's eerie how Ben and Locke are similar, and I do think Ben is protecting his power by leaving Locke for dead. However, for some reason, I never saw it coming...
I see the upcoming "war" as similar to the one Ben started to rid himself of his father and the Dharma Initiative. It'll be interesting if we see anymore other flashbacks bringing some closure between that point and the "present". I do think Locke will recover, but now I'm not sure where his loyalties will be. He's more familiar with the Losties, however he has no intentions of leaving the island now...
