WTH?  There are reports the gun was shot with a live round?  Crazy if true.

This is literally out of an episode of Psych and I'm sure like every other crime show.

one would think producers would have learned their lesson after what happened with Bruce and Brandon Lee. What a tragedy.

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.

Bruce Lee died of a cerebral edema 20 years before the tragedy involving Brandon...

I would be surprised if there are criminal charges.   I expect the family of the deceased to get a low 8 figure settlement.

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.

Alec Baldwin is not at fault here, he can’t be charged unless he knew the gun had some type of live round in it.

If he influenced the call to replace the union crew with unqualified individuals he might be

It was a union camera crew that walked off the set.  Not the props people.

He was a producer on the movie and fired the round. He’s probably screwed.

Sounds like the whole production was a mess right from the start, though. Mostly cuz of a lack of $$$.

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.

I still maintain someone getting hit with negligence is a possibility

Almost any big name gets producer credit for a bigger paycheck and shot at more publicity.
