Nearly 30 years since Brandon Lee and the industry still hasn’t learnt anything

[JogBird]

mindblowing that this is even possible

[haewillph]

This happened to Bruce Lee's son in 1993. He also died on the set.

The fact the industry hasn't learned from past mistakes is unreal. This should never happen.

A gun is a gun. Why didn't he check it when he picked it up? And why was he pointing it at the cinematographer?

KARMA!!! There is something very sinister going on here with the Hollyweird crowd

[Skysthelimit]

Prop guns and those blanks have always been dangerous. Many people have died because of errors with them and accidents. VERY sad

[vlltxip]

Why would they use something deadly enough to kill a person on set? really stupid on the part of the people responsible for props.

Terrible tragedy, I feel incredibly sad for this woman. I can't imagine what her family is going through. However, I have no sympathy for him he's a garbage human being that brought a lot of hatred. Even to his kids.

Guns don't kill people, Alec Baldwin does!

[wolfthorn]

A manslaughter charge and a wrongful death lawsuit would be what the common man would be faced with. Should be interesting to see how mr Baldwin is treated.

[rmrcxig]

He is a bit off and shouldn't be handling deadly weapons.

Oh god this got be nightmare to Alec. Rip for young lady and everyone Involved.🙏🏾

That quote from the movie “surviving the game” by Ice-T would apply to prop guns as well. “There’s something you should always do when you find a gun. Always check the barrel.”

“I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone, ” Alec Baldwin (Twitter, September 2017)

[Master-AGN]

So he broke the first rule of handling a gun? Treating all guns as if they are loaded with live round. What a noodle brain. He needs 10 years to consider his crime.

[myriot]

How did he shoot her accidentally ? I can’t understand. Was it during a scene ? How can he accidentally shoot two people and kill one that are not actors and not during a scene im confused. This is crazy

[nysockexchange]

I hope Alec wasn't messing about with the gun when this happened. Even if this wasn't his fault this is surely gonna drive Alec back to booze and drugs.

[EsotericOccultist]

I can't believe this..Alec Baldwin still makes movies?

[heykau]

This quickly reminded me of that incident where Shia labouf got fired after confronting Alec Baldwin for being unprep for his role when they did a broadway show together
