Why was Alec Baldwin pointing a “prop gun” at a cinematographer? How did he shoot two people? With one bullet? Did the bullet bounce? How many shots were fired. These are questions that police will investigate.
Probably, but one thing is for sure, with his dem/lib bona fides, no way will he ever be held to account for anything he did. He'll probably be offered immunity before he even speaks to investigators.
The system of "justice" is no longer blind or even.
Good question.
Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald could weigh in on this?
Every gun enthusiast I know treats every single gun as though it's loaded. We never point guns at anyone or even momentarily let anyone come in front of the barrel, and if we show off or share our guns with others, we always break them down.
Probably shooting into the camera. A common shot in Hollywood films.
I hate Baldwin's politics, but it's not his fault. Duties are heavily segregated on big budget films, often by union mandate. Only the wardrobe mistress is allowed to touch the clothes. Only gaffers are allowed to move cables, etc.
The Props Department was responsible for prepping the gun. The Director told Baldwin when to shoot, and in which direction. Baldwin likely did as he was told, as do all actors.
The set was filming a western. If they had period correct guns, the prop gun would/should be single action. If so, the difference between one shot and two eliminates accidental discharge. Be interesting to follow.
