This is the industry practice: for shots where an actor aims a gun directly at the camera, ballistics shields are set up between the gun and the crew, just in case.

Alec Baldwin didn’t follow basic Gun safety procedures.

yet another el cheapo dilettante hired by producer Alec Baldwin to save money on a low-budget production ... should be sufficient grounds for a slam-dun multi-million dollars civil lawsuit ...

And Baldwin blasted her during a rehearsal. No reason to pull the trigger at all in a rehearsal.

Yes. Exactly

Didn’t follow basic Gun handling procedures and also did not follow the Industry standards.

We are only being told what Baldwin’s agents are putting out.

There will be more to this.

I was told that a “prop” gun is utterly incapable of being fired. It has no barrel and the only action is the trigger and hammer. The barrel is only drilled far enough to appear as a barrel. The revolver portion rotates; this it looks like a gun for movies, but has no serial number as it is inert

Further no live ammo is ever allowed on set. This is to prevent any accidents.

So now we have a real gun with live ammo

You were told wrong. The type of gun you're describing would be one most likely used in a stage play. Almost every gun you've ever seen in a Western movie are real, loaded with blanks. They call them "props on a movie set.

Suspect the fix is already in. Why wasn’t Baldwin arrested immediately for suspicion of homicide, drug and alcohol tested and the gun confiscated and the remaining casings ( if any) tested for prints and DNA ? What was happening on the set when he shot her? He must have been really close if the bullet or projectile went through her and wounded the second man. Where is the police diagram outlining the exact position of everyone on the set when the shot was fired? What was the exact relationship between the woman and Baldwin? Very much doubt any of these questions or facts will be answered by the New Mexico police who are controlled by Democratic pols after “thoroughly” investigating a shooting by Hollywood liberal icon Baldwin.

“Why wasn’t Baldwin arrested immediately for suspicion of homicide,”

homicide is not a crime.

Heard a couple attorneys talking about Baldwin saying basically the same thing. HE’s not going to walk away from this unscathed.

ANOTHER story pushed out to TMZ by Baldwin’s PR team.

Yup. They're trying to throw shade on the armorer, who probably deserves it, but the shot was fired at human beings by Baldwin, not by her. Lots of misinformation making the rounds but that's the bottom line.

There are rubber guns that are just for looks. This wasn’t one of those.

After Brandon Lee, how can ANY actor, let alone one as massively experienced over decades like Baldwin, fail to check the gun first?

In this case, Baldwin has nobody to point to but himself.

He won't be charged criminally, but will lose a massive civil case to the victim's husband and director. Millions or tens of millions if he doesn't settle first.

The bitch responsible for the guns should be chsarged criminally.

Try to imagine the scenario where someone shoots and kills a person, claims it was an accident and does not get arrested immediately. It happens if you are a Hollywood, liberal icon with a strong anti Trump pedigree and the cops are under the control of Democratic politicians. “Oh. OK Mr.Baldwin. Perfectly understandable. You have a nice day Sir.”

Baldwin hired her and didn’t do a background check.

She probably got the job because her Dad, a Hollywood gun expert, recommended her to his filmmaking contacts.

Baldwin probably assumed that she was raised by her father to be a gun expert, and like father, like daughter.

So, the firearm used in the shooting was a real firearm and not a “prop”(fake) gun.
