Starting to sound weird to me. Why all this live ammunition? Seems like someone wanted something bad to happen.
I thought the same thing. I don’t care for the man’s personality, but man, this should happen to no one. A person is dead, and another probably died inside. And it may have been a pissed-off walk-out who was trying to make some point.
Yes, it is sounding unusual.
There were enough precursor firearms safety incidents, union job actions, inexperienced "experts and past behavior and attitudes of actors that the filming should have been suspended for a safety review, and proper set safety procedures implemented and enforced.
No live ammunition is needed on set with actors or crew, Computer Generated firearm discharges are so good the audience cannot tell the difference.
Blanks ammunition is sometimes necessary for actors reactions and cues in particular scenes, but Computer Generated images will perfectly represent projectile impact on any object.
Certainly a lot of powerful people didn't care if something bad happened, they wouldn't take the fall.
I hate Alec Baldwin. However I said to my wife after a report on OAN that the whole thing sounds like a set up.
You never point a gun at somebody and pull the trigger unless you intend to kill them.
He did just that.
Maybe he can do an SNL script on it.
What exact model of handgun was being used?
I think all the “live” ammo was blanks. Apparently a blank killed her. These hollyweird fools aren’t even responsible enough for blanks. In the future give them the plastic guns with the orange tip, let them go “bang bang”. It’s a Hollyweird western, who cares about realism anyway?
“Why all this live ammunition? Seems like someone wanted something bad to happen.“
Yes. This is Hollywood - where everything is MAKE-BELIEVE..
You do NOT use “prop” guns that are capable of killing someone. In this day and age, you can use a cap gun and then insert a real “bang” noise later.
There is NO excuse for this whatsoever. …Unless someone had plans..
