Mega Fail Hannah.

This will become quite the circular firing squad.
(with no live ammo)

[HIDEK6]

Wrong answer.

[datura]

Single action revolver- it’s still Baldwin’s fault.

[Col Frank Slade]

I don’t think she has very good attorneys.

[DownInFlames]

I hope the gun and cartridges were secured by the sheriff. Fingerprints need to be taken. At the very least Hannah and Alex Baldwin need to be arrested for criminal homicide.

[Spok]

That in itself may constitute negligence, especially in light of statements from the crew that the revolver had been used for target shooting during off hours.

[WKUHilltopper]

And yet, no one knew how to clear and check a firearm before handling it? Morons.

[mylife]

She is screwed

[upsdriver]

I think law enforcement should look beyond accidental shooting in this case.

[billorites]

An opportune time for use of the passive voice.

[PCPOET7]

I think it will all come down to who’s finger prints are on the shell casings of the live ammo in the gun....I also think there is a distinct possibility that the live ammo on the set was placed there after the shooting to obscure responsibility.

[BipolarBob]

The Sgt. Schultz response “I know nothing. I saw nothing”. Probably not going to work in this case.

[Eagles6]

ultimately, yeah.

I've been shooting for a long time and even if a trusted buddy hands me an "unloaded" weapon, I check.

agreed

And look at how did Baldwin get a real gun? I thought people with mental illness weren't supposed to get guns.

[Huskrrrr]

You had one job!
