"The details of the tragic shooting death of the 42-year-old cinematographer seemed only to get more disturbing on Monday as eyewitness accounts have raced through the Hollywood guilds and tight-knit indie community."

Woo-hoo. Could they be any more excitable. /s

I think I read an article that said Baldwin was practice shooting.

Baldwin, who was rehearsing a scene for the film, was “pointing the revolver towards the camera lens” when it hit director Joel Souza and Hutchins, according to the search warrant made public on Sunday. Hutchins grabbed her midsection

Aren't cameras like 4-5 foot tall?

I posted several times that “plinking” was almost certainly how the live rounds got into the gun. Oscam’s razor.

Some interesting Tweets from Kirsty Alley on Twitter. In the last tweet, she dovetails what John Schneider stated in his Oct 22/23 YouTube interview about dry firing. Also interesting is the fact she states that in 40 years of being in this industry, she has never heard the term “Cold Gun”.

@kirstiealley
No

Replying to @kirstiealley
Is live ammunition allowed on movie sets ?

@kirstiealley

I’ll leave it to the investigation and law-enforcement to decide what actions will be taken. It’s a tragedy on every level and I feel for all involved. No one wanted this.

@kirstiealley

That’s the mystery part. There is NO live ammo on a set.. at least I’ve never seen any on a single set over the last 40 some years. I’m sure this will all result in answers. It’s a tragedy that was preventable at every turn.

@kirstiealley

No AD yells “COLD GUN” The armourer or prop person is supposed to PERSONALLY show you the gun so you can see it is empty for yourself. Then I dry fire it into the ground. I have NEVER been handed a gun by an AD & I’ve been handed 100 guns & I’ve never heard “COLD gun” in 40 years

THIS one won't hold water.

The crew would plink with their own guns (imo)

...and if not for California gun laws, the crew wouldn’t have needed to go out shooting that day in an unfamiliar place, as they could have done it at home, and with their own guns.

I don’t care if the gun used for plinking killed Bigfoot earlier in the day, it’s irrelevant. Alec Baldwin was handed a gun by someone who apparently didn’t do a safety check. After Baldwin received the weapon, he didn’t perform a safety check on it. End of story.....

Involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide. Those are the two options.

...to go “plinking,” a hobby in which people shoot at beer cans with live ammunition to pass the time, the insider said.

What's it called if you shoot at Pepsi cans?

So out of three idiots the so called “armorer” the AD, and Alec, nobody thought to check the weapon. It is an instinct to me, and they want to disarm us.

Question on civil liability. Will the 6 million dollar policy cover all the civil award? Since the film production was not following industry standards will the insurance company say sorry, no coverage? As a producer, how much will Alec be personally held responsible financially? Will the financiers of the movie sue Alec for their lost investment? Lost return?

Also the criminal side will be interesting.

It will be interesting. Also did Alec literally kill his career?

Crew members had gone ”plinking“ and returned the gun to the set, an insider tells TheWrap

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Who the hell goes plinking and does not fire very round in the gun? I go plinking I have to force myself to not use every round in the damn BOX...If I take my .22 out I only bring one box of ammo for that reason...I have been known to use up 2 boxes before.

Yeah it was fun...and at that time, cheap. I just found an old CCI box with a $1.79 price tag from wally world years ago. Been using it to keep assorted rounds for years. Couple of 22 shorts, 2 or 3 of this, 5 or 6 of that...now and then I’ll go plink a little and use everything in it...start over...

As I’ve said repeatedly, Baldwin ignored firearm safety rules, this was user stupidity, I won’t go into that aspect of it any further. Already been there.

Alec Baldwin wanted to try some target shooting himself and after killing one person and wounding another he was heard to say: “How’d I do? Pretty good shooting hitting 2 people with one shot”
