A deadly shooting on the set of the Alec Baldwin film “Rust” in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, has resulted in a debate among legal minds about the possibility and likelihood of litigation — even as many of the facts of the matter remain shrouded as of the time of this writing.
It remains officially unclear how a prop gun — generally outfitted with blanks — was discharged by Baldwin on a movie set. The gunshot managed to kill cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injure director Joel Souza, 48. The accident happened at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, a stereotypical western film set used frequently by production crews on the southern outskirts of Santa Fe.
...
However, the New York Post, citing Indie Wire, said that a union which represented prop masters learned that a “live round” was fired. The union said its members were not on set and that local “New Mexico crew members” were, according to the reports.

Ya didn't wait quite long enough, ya should have read post #112 by Covenantor, then you could have considered how much compassion Halyna Hutchins had for the host of people damaged by Baldwin.
Are THEY dead? No. You hate Baldwin and you are letting your hate color your thinking. The Director/Writer bears some blame. He and Baldwin are partners in the project. But your hatred, based on politics, blinds you....just like the left.

Prop gun fired by Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting contained live round: union
So of all the people Baldwin injured, only the dead ones deserve compassion?
You're a swell guy.
You hate Baldwin ...
Where did I say that? I have only expressed my opinion of Baldwin's qualities.
...you are letting your hate color your thinking...
...your hatred, based on politics, blinds you...
You sure know a lot about me, considering you don't know anything about me at all, and are willing to move to personal attacks because I show concern for a different group of people than you.
Just like the Left.
Your posts scream for themselves.
I would speculate that to save money on special effects, live ammo was used in some scenes. Property manager and/ or armorer got sloppy.
Still, it's good information to have.
My posts sure make you scream.
Hardly. Your callousness makes me sick.
I agree with you, but does it still hold true if the incident occurred outside the actual production (not part of the script)?
The fact that a homicide has been committed throws a major monkey wrench in this event. If a perp wanted to frame someone, this would be too easy.
Disagree. The #1 rule is that the person holding the gun must make sure it’s not loaded. If that individual does not, he must assume it is loaded and not point it at anyone. Actors not exempt from gun safety rules.
Even children know to verify the weapon is not loaded.
He was rehearsing a scene. Why would ANYONE need to pull the actual trigger in a rehearsal?
Be careful, Ryzan. Most things in there dont react well to bullets.
Let’s look at his Industry credentials:
He’s Extremely Left in an Industry that’s 99.999% Extremely Left.
Hates Trump.
Pathologically, explosive , hair trigger temper / violence, ready to explode any moment.
Anti Police
Anti Military
Hollywood leftists galore will help cover his ass. He’ll get off scot free.
Colt’s are too pricey to be props. Probably one of the Italian clones.
Our commie Gov is already on TV talking about what a tragedy it is. Anything not to harm the lucrative movie business here.
Have you priced .45 Colt recently? 😀
What if the actor had some of the responsibility for hiring the prop-master as one of the producers?
