His sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard.
Kristin Shephard (Sue Ellen's sister), was the culprit in the famous "Who Shot J.R.?" cliffhanger which enthralled so many people. JR Ewing, played by Larry Hagman, was shot in the final episode of the 1979-1980 season. Fans had to wait to find out whodunnit through the summer and much of the fall because of an actors' strike that delayed the new season. At the time it was the highest rated TV episode in television history, with some 83,000,000 viewers.
Kristin, played by Mary Crosby, claimed to be pregnant with JR's baby at the time of the shooting, so he didn't press charges against her.
Several years later, however, Sue Ellen herself, played by Linda Gray, also shot him (in the episode in which Jack Scalia fell off a high-rise balcony after fighting with JR), so she is also a correct answer.
Trivia:
A recent internet phenomena is suggesting that it was Sarah Palin who shot JR, not Kristin Shephard.
