Alec Baldwin says he is cooperating with police after his prop gun discharged on a New Mexico movie set, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza while filming the movie "Rust," reports CBS News national correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti. Baldwin, who says he has contacted Hutchins' family to express his condolences, has not been charged.

Just remember ordinary people would be behind bars.

Get ready for a wrongful death lawsuit for millions!

A “prop” gun? We were taught, at an early age, you never, never…ever point a firearm at a person. ANY firearm! Unless, it was in self defense…period!

[bruren]

why did he fire the gun at her in the first

[conrmckocoa]

why would he point and pull the trigger at the director?

[texasrebel]

He wont be charged because he is hollywood and protected

[tomschmidt]

If Alec would have left USA like he promised 5 years ago this never would have happened.

Anyone who fires any gun needs to inspect it first. Baldwin made a huge mistake.

How did he hit two people with a prop gun? And they weren’t actors?

At what point are you aiming at the production team?

Strange.

[Breal]

What would possibly be the reason for pointing the gun at the cinematographer and the director and then pulling the trigger?

[chriskoch]

It’s not a prop if it kills someone. That’s a firearm.

SNL should get Trump to play Alec Baldwin this week.

Washington needs to ban Assault Actors.

[ohmyDahliasxx]

There’s no reason these 2 ppl would have been in the line of fire while rolling. This doesn’t add up

[tonyaburton]

I hope that family sues for millions if not billions

[tzackaria]

treat EVERY firearm as loaded. Never point a firearm at anything or anybody you wouldn't want to shoot. AND keep your finger off the trigger till you are on the target

[normancomeau]

I hope I never hurt anyone in my life.

Baldwin should be in jail. W T F was he pointing the weapon at a director and camera woman? Even blanks are a dangerous thing to be messing with.
But Baldwin is one of the "beautiful " people. No consequence for his stupodity.

If it can fire a bullet it's not a prop gun, it's a gun.
I own 2 prop guns from the tv series Chicago PD, they cannot fire bullets
and are stamped "prop gun".

How about jail time? Accidental shooting happen and regular people get arrested and get jail time
