Evil is everywhere. Just look at some of the religious and government leaders.

The directory of photography (who died) and the director of the film (who was injured) apparently were talking with Baldwin (who had the gun in his hand) when the prop gun discharged. I saw a news report last night on TV and they were saying that the "gun wrangler" on set normally takes control of the prop gun(s) unless they are actually shooting a scene. I remember years ago an actor named Jon-Eric Hexum put a prop gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. He died from his injuries. So it's pretty obvious that blanks can be dangerous in the wrong hands. |

Never point ANY GUN at any thing you don't want to shoot, a fundamental rule of gun safety.

Alec Baldwin is an idiot, so it doesn't surprise me that he pointed it at somebody and pulled the trigger.
I am just incredulous that:
A) They were using a fully functional firearm, and
B) Live rounds, in that particular cartridge, were permitted anywhere near the set

Like you said he is an idiot, but I am sure they have a prop guy that handles all that stuff. I would think.

I heard on the radio this morning that what can happen with prop guns is if they aren't cleaned there is a residue that builds up in the barrel and that residue can become a projectile if it dislodges when the next blank is fired. Is that what happened? I have no idea, but it makes sense. I would say the "gun wrangler" on set is going to be asked a whole lot of questions. |

The thing about jumping to what could be wrong conclusions is that the jump is a lot easier to make in some instances than in others.
If Jimmy Stewart had shot someone on set by accident, we'd likely have accepted it as accidental on his word. Same for John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. And some of those guys had done a few things that showed questionable judgment or control. But when Baldwin does it, the nature of the incident seems a lot more suspicious at first glance.
Still curious about how even Baldwin managed to shoot two of them "accidentally".

The number one question would be - Why did Baldwin even have possession of the gun between scenes? |

I guess in time we might get the truth. |

The "gun wrangler" or "prop master" is supposed to hand the actor the gun loaded with blanks right before the director starts the scene and take the gun from the actor as soon as the director stops the scene. Obviously that doesn't appear to be what happened. I would imagine the truth will come out @ some point. |

Where does it say that there were live rounds in the gun?

Where does it say that there were live rounds in the gun? I guess I assumed it was a live round since someone was shot and killed with it.. I didn't know it was possible to shoot and kill someone with built up crud in the barrel? |
