Involuntary manslaughter charges?

Not necessarily, I'd imagine gross negligence for whoever's in charge of props. There's a reasonable expectation from Alec that the gun would've been safe as he's not a prop expert. If a car's breaks fail and you're driving and hit someone that's on the manufacturer or recent mechanic not on you.

I just heard a blip on the radio speculating that it could have been a live round.  If that's true I would think someone could be charged with manslaughter?

While I wouldn’t mind if Alec was charged as he is an asswipe, there was a union dispute with a walk-out a few hours before this, with complaints of unsafe working conditions. Likely, some one will get charged with at least this charge if not more.

A source close to union said Local 44 does not know what projectile was in the gun and clarified that “live” is an industry term that refers to a gun being loaded with some material such as a blank ready for filming.

I highly doubt it. The only way I see any criminal charges here is if someone, possibly even on the union crew, intentionally switched guns, or rounds.

Otherwise, this is just a terrible tragic accident.

Looking more and more like this was due to negligence more than just being an accident as more info comes out. Gun had caused problems before and producers had gotten an email complaining about it just a few days prior.

Just spitballing here, but an actor aiming a gun at the camera or some THING usually tracks better than just picking a spot on the wall.

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

I read an article that mentioned typically the actors are staggered when firing the gun to avoid this from happening.

It will be interesting as more comes out. Most articles I’ve read mentioned this isn’t out of the realm of possibility with these guns. There is some risk.

Yes.  I would think there are all sorts of protocols and safety precautions.  That's why I find this story so strange and that someone or ones will be held responsible.

And of course we remember that possibly facing lawsuits is not the same as being charged criminally, lawsuits will probably end up being filed against the production company and those involved in protocols, I would think.
It’s terrible all the way around.

I've read she was a "rookie" armorer and was hired via nepotism after a career as a model.

This.  It seems like if you don't have any live rounds anywhere on set and you make sure the guns are emptied before bringing them on set, this would never happen.  Again, I don't know the movie business, but it seems this could be prevented by very modest means and a simplest procedures.  It has to be either criminal neglect or intentional, one would think.

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.

Do we know how far away the gun was fired from the the victim?  If this was a real gun?  WTF?  Crazy, crazy, crazy.  They should be able to determine if it was a live round from an actual gun.  I'm not blaming Baldwin but wouldn't he know if the gun he was holding was real?

I'm pretty sure that some of the confusion is surrounding in-industry terms that aren't general colloquial terms for things.

Real guns are used in Hollywood productions.

They are used to create live actor reactions to recoil, muzzle flashes, etc.

They are never loaded with bullets--that is a round with projectile bullet.

They are loaded with rounds that the industry calls "live" but that non industry people would probably call "blanks."

A "live" (blank) round discharges hot gas and occasionally wadding/minor debris that can be harmful/lethal for 15ish feet from the end of the barrel.

An actor famously died on set by placing a gun loaded with a live (blank) round to his head and pulling the trigger not realizing that was a lethal decision.

I've read several accounts of currently active hollywood armorers who describe the practice and procedure for use of "live" rounds on set. They include, only the armorer ever handling the weapon. The armorer loading the weapon. The armorer certifying the number of "live" rounds in the weapon between every take. The armorer handing the weapon directly to the actor. The armorer and an assistant certifying whether the weapon is "hot" or "cold" and calling that out before and after handing the weapon to the actor.

(Allegedly here's where someone called out "cold gun" and Baldwin assumed that was legit to disastrous effect).

It still sounds like a great deal of the chain of custody of the weapon is disputed, but every time you read a hollywood person or source use the term "live" round, it's almost certainly (absent true murder mystery style intent) meaning what you and I would call a blank.

Real guns are used all the time.  Usually there is a qualified 'gun guy' who is in charge of everything firearm related.

As others have said, I’ve read in a number of places that “live” rounds on a movie set is what most would think of as blanks. They make a realistic bang and can have projectiles.

I also read that proper protocol is that real ammunition is absolutely never, ever supposed to be on a movie set. Ever. So, exactly as you’re suggesting. Sometimes they want real-looking bullets that will be seen, but those aren’t live and don’t have powder (and I read they make them so they rattle when you shake them to prevent confusion).

Based on what I’ve read, there are many rules and regulations to prevent this sort of tragedy from occurring (including, not insignificantly, never pointing the gun at anyone). This likely isn’t the result of not enough rules. This is the result of not following the rules.

I remember this. Jon-Erik Hexum in the mid-eighties.  He was on the set of his TV show and responded to a continued delay in filming by jokingly holding a prop gun to his temple and pulling the trigger.  The wadding in the gun expelled and killed him.

Apparently cutting corners and not properly staffing the prop/armory.

So a person died because people tried to save a few bucks. Meanwhile I'm sure several actors were being paid millions. Them cutting their salary by a small fraction would mean a life would have been saved.

So bottom line, it comes down to greed.

I didn't see it but heard that he said  he thought this woman fainted and he didn't realize she was shot until 45 mins later??  How on earth Is that plausible?  I guess I  thought I tomahawk dunked on Kur Kuath but didn't realize I couldn't have until 45 mins later?

Baldwin for all his wealth and connections has some seemingly brain dead lawyers

I watched the entire interview and could not believe what I was hearing. Strange interview and I struggled believing anything that he said.

Yeah ... he looked like a dirtbag. And probably is one.

He has quite a track record of abuse, assault and general dickness, but he played Trump on SNL (poorly) so he gets a pass.

I'm not sure his tenure as DJT on SNL buys him as much love as you think.

He's always been a huge douche nozzle.

Last good thing he did was Hunt for Red October.

Much better in that role than Harrison Ford was.

He's a decent actor.  I thought he was fabulous in Team America.

I wanna say it was a year or 2 after? I think HFRO was 1990 and GGR was 91/92

92.

GGR seems like an 80s movie to me, for some reason.

His scene is one of the great 8 minutes in movie history, especially a non-action movie.
