: Re: Shouting in a question How do I express shouting in a question? In a non-question sentence, I just put an exclamation mark at the end and/or use words like "shouted"/"yelled"/etc in the "said"

Your particular issue is that this is a rhetorical question. A real question is "Where is she?" or "How do I defuse the bomb?"
You can use italics, caps, and maybe bold, depending on what else you've used that formatting for. The ?! construction connotes a particular emotion, so I wouldn't throw it in for decoration.

Batman slammed the Joker up against the wall. "WHERE IS SHE?" he roared.

Sherlock looked up at John, frantic. "How do I defuse the bomb?"
"I don't know!"
"As you keep reminding everyone, you were a soldier!"
John flailed his hands. "I'm a doctor! I wasn't in bomb disposal!"
