Studio will insist movie goes ahead to "honour" the legacy of cinematographer .... cha-ching.

I dont understand how 2 people were shot?...surely after the 1st person was shot, baldwin would realise the 'prop' gun...was a live gun?

[Neil-Aspinall]

Sumpen fishy going on here, why oh why would live rounds be on set at all???

Whoever was in charge of tending to the guns, In particular the gun that was handed to Alec Baldwin has some very serious questions to answer.

Baldwin is obviously shocked & devastated by the fact he's killed the woman and injured his director.

Local police haven't charged Baldwin, so are obviously happy that he was not really to blame.

The movie industry needs the author of GUN SENSE on any set where firearms will be used, to educate the crew and

[on_the_lse]

That place is going to be haunted. If I’m right, somebody owes me money

Rumour on set is that the incident was a negligent discharge after Alec Baldwin pointed the weapon at the cinematographer in jest at being asked to do a 2nd take.

[saskiamoni]

Actors do what they have been told to do safety officer is responsible
