From the 911 call:
“We had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun, we need help immediately,” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell told an emergency dispatcher. “We were rehearsing and it went off, and I ran out, we all ran out.”
The dispatcher asked if the gun was loaded with a real bullet.
“I cannot tell you. We have two injuries,” Mitchell replied. “And this (expletive) AD (assistant director Dave Halls ) that yelled at me at lunch, asking about revisions….He’s supposed to check the guns. He’s responsible for what happens on the set.”

New working title: I shot the cinematographer.
Amazing what it takes to make some folks say “WHOA”!
Speaks to the daily shitshow these people live in.
The questions are, why was there a live rounds on the set? Who purchased the ammo and brought it to the set? All six chambers of gun were probably loaded. Were five blanks and one live round, and that one chambered to be first fired?
Nationwide the same union is in contract negotiations with producers and they have voted to strike if they don’t get what they want. Their main beefs are long working hours and
job safety. Could a disgruntled union worker have loaded the live round to scare the producers?? I believe a thorough and honest investigation will reveal that to be the case. What say ye??
If somebody got shot by it, it’s NOT a prop.

I guess they should have done what Baldwin said. He shoots those who disagree or don’t do what he said?
