'albeit shot at' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'if turning red get ahead' is the wordplay.
'turning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ahead' becomes 'on' (synonyms).
'if' back-to-front is 'fi'.
'fi'+'red'+'on'='FIRED ON'
