CliveNo. Sayeg The last thing we need is someone getting shot.Thanks a lot teacher. That was what I thought!
How about if I us "to get" as in "the last thing we need is someone to get shot".
Would using "to" make it possible or not?

Yes, but more idiomatic is
"The last thing we need is for someone to get shot"
"The last thing we need is for someone to get shot"
