Baldwin pulled the trigger.
Period.
L
wasnt even necessary to pull trigger in a rehearsal
Baldwin could have — if he’d taken a basic NRA gun safety course — easily checked the weapon and determined if it was loaded or not.
Gross negligence to fire a weapon and rely on others to tell you it’s not loaded.
Thank God they identified the gun that killed the girl. Did they immediately arrest the gun?
That’s what I figured it would have been based on the initial reports of what happened:

F.lli Pietta 45 Long Colt Revolver.
Glad to see they finally ID’d the revolver. Some web sites have been showing a photo of a fancy Dragoon front loader.
And yet all the articles I have read thus far show pix of a semi-auto, not a revolver.
It is impossible to fire any firearm “accidentally”. It is always and only neglect and incompetence, at the very least.
Absolutely. Since he was also the producer of the movie, he likely got rid of a Safety Officer to "save" costs.
A reporter would know the difference? A reporter would even care about accuracy in reporting? I’m surprised they didn’t post a picture of an AR-15.
It’s all about the agenda.
They’ll all blame each other.

Put them all in jail
It was an evil AK-Glock and shot on its own.
Mary Jo Kopechne all over again...
...you are spot on....! I took a basic NRA gun safety course quite a number of years ago, right after Odumbo was nominated to be the Dem candidate for the Presidency, and right after I bought my first gun....was worth every minute of the course. Of course, to Baldwin, such course, as well as guns themselves, are for the great unwashed, the knuckle-draggers within our society.......
There may be some extremely rare instances of material failure or defect that result in an accidental discharge. Even in those cases, there may be negligence if it was not detected during normal routine maintenance and inspection. But such situations are truly very rare, and even when they do occur, other safe firearm handling practices will still generally preclude injury.
Apart from that, I agree completely. The overwhelming majority of firearm, "accidents," aren't accidents at all, and if you backtrack on the sequence of events leading up to the, "accident," you will almost invariably find more than two or three instances of incompetence, inexperience or ignorance that would otherwise have preempted the, "accident."
All I’ve seen are pix of a modern double action revolver.
Anyone notice the similarity between the last high profile fatal Hollyweird accident, Anton Yeltsin, and this one...
I’m still wondering if either/both were accidents.
Did he pull the trigger TWICE is the real question
