Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on a New Mexico film set Thursday, Oct. 21, killing the director of photography and wounding the director, according to local law enforcement officials.

The incident occurred on the set of the Western film Rust, though it is unclear whether the actors were rehearsing or filming a scene. The circumstances of the incident are still under investigation, and no charges have been filed against the 63-year-old actor, according to local media reports.

There are rumors out there that he rummaged through their trailers after the “accident”...but can’t find where that originated.

Incompetent IMO.

Also wasn’t there a change in some of the crew just prior to this incident?

Its just like a murder mystery I read about 40 years ago.
Alec Baldwin is a murderer. He should pay for this heinous crime.

I suspect one of the people who walked off the set earlier in a labor dispute sabotaged the set by loading the gun with a Iive round. One of Baldwins labor union buddies no doubt. It seems very coincidental that it happened right after they were claiming the set was not safe.

Ah, I disagree my friend, they could have been rehearsing the scene prior to filming it. I believe its a common practice.

If they were practicing the scene presumably Baldwin would have been aiming the prop gun at the actors in the scene. How did two no-actor crew members get shot while rehearing the scene? Were they standing between Baldwin and the actors while rehearsing the scene? The actors should have been shot not crew members.

Yes the Union crew had walked out earlier that day due to lack of pay, hotel arrangements, and safety concerns on the set.

It is claimed 2 prior incident of guns accidentally firing had happened.

Truth in what you say….but it’s often a bitter pill to take, much less swallow.
😐
The best place Alec Baldwin ever was in his whole life was in a submarine.

Yeah, hopefully the bitter taste of what he did will drive him to seek forgiveness rather than lashing out at everyone else, blaming them, and hardening his heart even further. It might take some time, but hopefully this sets off a row of dominoes that eventually leads to his salvation, better yet woild be a quick run to forgiveness.

Yes. And it was not a “prop” gun. Prop Gun’s are incapable of firing a round. So says John Sneider on Newsmax.

There was no reason to be pointing and firing a weapon.

If you are acting(!) out a scene as rehearsal, I'd say just use the 'hand' gun and say "BANG" for effect! Even though schools have suspended / punished students for just such HORRIBLE actions, to my knowledge, no one has ever died from that! Yet!

As for this perpetrator, Mr Baldwin is now, and unfortunately for the real victims (family & friends) here, hoisted on his own past words & actions! As a verbose LEFTist using his Hollywood star power, he has been a 'go-to' source for much of the 'news reaction'. Now, he IS THE NEWS and he has the history that already condemns him in his own voice.

Guilty on all counts of extreme negligence and terminal stupidity.

Alex Baldwin, of all people. A paragon among saints. Or something.

It was a cap and ball revolver (circa 1850) Without a metallic cartridge. I doubt he could have reloaded it himself.

That would make it difficult To know it was loaded with blanks

He should still face charges over the incident, as should the props manager.

“the Union crew had walked out earlier that day due to lack of pay, hotel arrangements, and safety concerns on the set”

Obviously the safety concerns were valid which is one more thing Baldwin is gonna have a hard time explaining.

The crew walks out due to safety concerns, they backfill with folks I assume aren’t too familiar with the project and the next thing that happens is someone is killed???

Unbelievably tragic.

You don't rehearse with live weapons. Weapons are tested on a range. Actors rehearse their part. They come together to do takes for the movie.

Naturally, tweeters are whining that FOX News are “out to get” Arrec for this, and accusing FOX of “taking the low road” over it.

As opposed to THE OTHER 99.9% of the other networks, TV shows( SNL, every late night talk show,Comedy Central, et al ), left leaning celebs, that viciously ,mean spiritedly, childishly, shat on Trump, every member of his administration, his FAMILY, on even the smallest “incident”, nearly every day during his Presidency, and since then????

So ONE ,out of the HUNDRED other “news” networks , is doing this towards one leftist “star”, and the other NINETY NINE, extremely left leaning networks, predictably, kneejerk react like the Body Snatchers.

They really believe they’re never wrong, and above and beyond ANY criticism, that they’re SACROSANCT. MAKE THEM SUFFER !!!!
