Why does Hostetter shoot Frasier? What was Frasier attempting when he was shot?

Hostetter shooting Frasier refers to a fictional event, presumably from a story, book, television series, or movie. Unfortunately, without additional context about which Frasier is being referred to, it is impossible to provide a specific answer to this question. However, if it is referencing an event from the popular American TV sitcom "Frasier," there is no episode where a character named Hostetter shoots Frasier Crane, the main character. If you are referring to a different "Frasier" or a scene from another show, movie, or literary work, please provide additional context for an accurate explanation.

Assuming the question involves a scenario in a storyline, typically, a character might shoot another because of a conflict of interest, a misunderstanding, act of self-defense, to prevent something from happening, or as a part of a crime such as an attempted murder. Frasier would have been attempting to do something that put him at odds with Hostetter be it intervening in a situation, confronting Hostetter, or inadvertently becoming a target.
