I think I read an article that said Baldwin was practice shooting.
See, it was everyone’s fault but Alec’s /s
It seems likely Baldwin deliberately fired the gun at people thinking it was unloaded. Did he manage to hit two other big shots in the production by accident? That is more than just violating gun safety rules.
However, others may have also screwed up big time, as there is no reason there should have been a bullet in that weapon.
I grew up plinking in backwoods trash dumps with my dad.
Somehow, in all the years since, I’ve managed to not shoot anyone.
Go figure.
Aren't cameras like 4-5 foot tall?
I believe the filming required Baldwin to shoot directly at the camera which is what Baldwin did. Unfortunately, the the lady killed was standing behind the camera. There were several breakdowns in gun safety protocols. I won’t mention them. But, if only one of the many had been performed this tragedy would not have occurred.
Right so 4ft is stomach height.
Not sure if true but my tin foil hat tells me..........Heard that the unfortunate dead girls husband is a lawyer working for a law firm involved with the Clinton initiative investigation, a possible message disguised as an accident being sent using unknowingly empty husk Baldwin? If true usually this kind of stuff comes out down the road as a side story
I posted several times that “plinking” was almost certainly how the live rounds got into the gun. Oscam’s razor.
How bout Alec check the gun chamber before he brings it on the set like the Screen Actors Guild demands of it’s actor.
You are a joke...

That would be included in one of the many levels of errors made I mentioned.
Before you personalize someone’s comments and attack them you should read and comprehend their post. Peace be with you brother.
It’s never the narcissist’s fault. And remember when this is over, Alec Baldwin will be MORE of a victim than the woman he shot and killed.
You are entirely correct. The number of safety measures ignored on this film are legion. As of right now with what are known facts, (if justice is served) jail time and bankruptcy ought to be very real outcomes for the producers and others who were responsible for safety and following industry protocols.
And yes, Alec Baldwin is a producer on this film.
Some interesting Tweets from Kirsty Alley on Twitter. In the last tweet, she dovetails what John Schneider stated in his Oct 22/23 YouTube interview about dry firing. Also interesting is the fact she states that in 40 years of being in this industry, she has never heard the term “Cold Gun”.
@kirstiealley
No
Replying to @kirstiealley
Is live ammunition allowed on movie sets ?
@kirstiealley
I’ll leave it to the investigation and law-enforcement to decide what actions will be taken. It’s a tragedy on every level and I feel for all involved. No one wanted this.
@kirstiealley
That’s the mystery part. There is NO live ammo on a set.. at least I’ve never seen any on a single set over the last 40 some years. I’m sure this will all result in answers. It’s a tragedy that was preventable at every turn.
@kirstiealley
No AD yells “COLD GUN” The armourer or prop person is supposed to PERSONALLY show you the gun so you can see it is empty for yourself. Then I dry fire it into the ground. I have NEVER been handed a gun by an AD & I’ve been handed 100 guns & I’ve never heard “COLD gun” in 40 years
Baldwins production company will go broke over this. Then comes personal liability for having shot the gun.
It is Occam’s razor.
Or Ockham’s razor is also acceptable.
Surprised the normally overly active little mischievous phone spell checker did not catch that.
