Maybe it’s actually better if…

A "prop" gun? No, DA, it was a real weapon, nothing prop about it, otherwise it wouldn't have real rounds in it. Baldwin may have *thought* it was a prop, but that just shows what a DA he is.

What the heck are they doing with a real weapon on a set anyway? That's asking for trouble. I'm wondering if it wasn't a prop but a security weapon he grabbed because he's too stupid to see the difference.

I hope her family sues the crap out of him since they are already trying to make this into an "accident" so no charges will be filed. Misfire my foot. He pulled the trigger without checking. Stupidity *should* be illegal or at least very expensive. Say, her lifetime earnings + ?

How much you want to bet he blames the weapon, not himself, for the death and goes even more "anti-gun".

How did he hit 2 people?

Since one was stomach and the other a shoulder, I'm thinking he was holding it at his waist, with a slight elevation when he triggered it. The bullet went through the stomach victim, then continued rising until it hit the other in the shoulder. Or if he was on a platform, it could be the other way around.

Unless very small or special bullets, they most often will go through most animals and continue traveling. They taught us at the hunter safety course to always look beyond the target as even if you hit, the bullet will keep going. Very rarely do I not have a pass through when I deer hunt.

I would like to hear more of the story. Did he aim and pretend to pew pew, but pulled the trigger aiming it at them? Did it go off because he was not handling it correctly?

I don't know why it would be aimed at a producer or director. Past "accidents" I have heard about on set were actors shooting actors when using a gun in a scene as the script was written for them to shoot the other.
 
Fox is reporting the gun contained a live round.

Seems this happened in a movie some years ago.

Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's kid) died while filming The Crow. It was a gun that had a blank in it but someone did not clear out the barrel and there was a foreign object in there that ended up discharging when the blank was fired. Tragic. I really liked that movie, I usually watch it every couple of years.
 
Since he's a liberal democrat with deep pockets, no criminal charges will ever be filed in this horrifying accident...if he were a beat cop, he'd already be in jail for murder.

 
I think that if I had just shot and killed somebody, I'd just stay off of twitter, ya know?

From what I've read, they were shooting one of those scenes where the actor fires the weapon at the camera (and operator) so it looks to the audience like he's firing at them. So a little more understandable about why he was pointing it her direction. However, there is no way that I'd be taking the props people word it was good to go if I knew I was firing it at a live person or two. Always check your barrel and always ensure it's blanks yourself. Still not feeling sorry for him, just his victims.
 
I used to do a lot of community theater in Michigan. I was in a play one time and another police officer was in it as well. In the play, a woman was to shoot another person. We had a prop gun and it was on the prop table. The other police officer set his attaché case on the prop table, opened it and then walked away when someone called him over to talk. Sitting there in his attaché case was a .38 Colt snub-nosed revolver. She picked it up thinking it was the prop gun. They were getting ready to rehearse the scene where the shooting takes place. I saw the revolver in her hand and ran up to her and told her to set it on the table. I opened the cylinder and it had live rounds in it. She almost fainted when she saw that. I called the officer over and asked him if it was his off-duty weapon and told him what happened and what could have happened.

I'm glad I saw it when I did because I was the actor playing the guy who got shot.
