Sounds like a lawsuit is going to follow this.

“Locals”

Just happened to be there, did someone log into ‘www.scabs4hire.com’?

Why do they keep calling it a “misfire”?

[marcusmaximus]

Baldwin blasted her in the stomach. During a scene rehearsal. Without checking the chamber for a live round.

[Barking Aardvark]

Live round in a gun 6 hours after disgruntled workers walk off the set. Interesting

[MileHi]

A misfire is when the round doesn’t go off.

[Col Frank Slade]

Negligent manslaughter at least ..

[CedarDave]

One version is that the director wanted another take and he swore (jokingly), pointed the gun at them and fired thinking it would be a blank.

A set expert said they never, ever actually aim at people. The live fire filming always uses angles to make it seem like a direct aim but it never is. So Baldwin did not follow standard safety protocols.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Because they are setting up the narrative that this was just an accident which could not have been prevented.

I don’t know if we have all the facts yet.

Exactly, and how did two "rounds" go off accidentally while holding a single action revolver, which I assume they were using since it is a Western they're filming, unless it was cocked or dropped onto the floor twice?

[CletusVanDamme]

Excuse me, Mr. Baldwin, I have just one more question.....

[Governor Dinwiddie]

This was no "misfire". Baldwin addressed his victims right before they were killed. Baldwin yelled something to the effect of "I ought to blow your [effin] heads off" and discharged the weapon. It was not a misfire. Baldwin meant to fire the gun. He could have thought the gun was harmless. Obviously it wasn't.

They are going to try to gin up a "misfire" alibi, but there are witnesses who will testify otherwise. Reckless endangerment at the minimum.

and how did two "rounds" go off accidentally

It's been reported that a single projectile hit both people, by passing through the woman and then striking the guy. Which does sometimes happen.

[BiglyCommentary]

Set safety experts say this can’t happen if standard industry safety protocols are adhered to. The scabs at the last moment probably was the cause.

[Kazan]

There some serious negligence involved. The only question is, does rise the level of criminal negligence.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It was reported that a bullet passed through Halyna's body and then into the body of the man was injured in his clavicle. There was only one shot fired according to reports.

I guess hotels are too expensive for the cheap ass producer of this crap attempt at entertainment. Maybe that’s why he shot a couple so he could save on the bills 🤪
