A distraught Alec Baldwin repeatedly asked why was he given a “hot gun” after his prop weapon accidentally discharged on his New Mexico film set Thursday, killing a cinematographer and injuring the director, witnesses have claimed.

The tragic accident unfolded while Baldwin was filming his upcoming western film “Rust” at Bonanza Creek Ranch in Sante Fe.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, died and director, Joel Souza, 48, was injured after they were both struck when the gun discharged, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said.

Immediately after the incident, an eyewitness told Hollywood gossip site Showbiz 411 that Baldwin started asking how he could have been given a “hot gun” – meaning a firearm loaded with real ammunition.

“In all my years, I’ve never been handed a hot gun,” the actor allegedly kept saying.

Yes, indeed! Procedures need to change.

When I was a nurse, two nurses had to sign off on any blood transfusion and be present when the transfusion was started.

I wouldn’t pee on Alex if he were on fire; but I have to agree, if the rounds were real, this shooting should never have happened. Wonder if someone sandbagged him. I hope it was not a maga person, as Alex will be quick to suspect.

His fault. He always blames the little people, but everyone holding a gun is personally responsible to make sure it’s not loaded. Personally. All guns are to be considered loaded and never pointed at anyone. This is on him.

Rust, is about a father/grandfather (can’t remember which)whose 13 year old son accidentally kills a man.

A 13-year-old is approximately Alex Baldwin's level of maturity.

Alex will slide out from under it, most probably.
