I still maintain someone getting hit with negligence is a possibility
I’m wondering why the gun was pointed at the director of photography, not an actor. Odd.
there are supposed to be armorers or weapon masters and assistants present at ALL productions where ANY gun is involved. they are responsible for checking, loading and advising the actors properly. the actors themselves should always handle the gun(s) as if it were loaded with a live round. trust AND verify. i believe baldwin is a world class a$$hole, but i really do feel bad for him and worse for the actor who died and the one who was injured. he has to live with this incident and wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy
My wife's theory is some deranged Trumpie slipped in a live bullet 'to get back at A Baldwin for playing Trump on SNL."
It sounds like the Assistant Director told Baldwin the "gun was safe'?. Beyond messed up. It appears protocols were not followed at all.
Why is live ammunition even available on the set?Why are actual guns used?
The big unanswered question is....Why was a live round in the chamber?Big question #2....Who placed it there?
It may even go beyond the live round. From what I have read a prop gun cannot fire a blank. So was this actually shot from a real gun? What in the H is going on here?
I thought the risk with these was a blank is still a projectile, so there’s still a risk, although much, much lower.
There is a TMZ report this afternoon that set workers were stealing the pistol afterhours (after filming shut down for the evening) for target practice and then putting it back before morning.
