Perhaps Alec Baldwin killed on purpose knowing that murdering someone would generate interest in his movie. The irony involved would only increase ticket sales. As a psychopath and an actor he would be proud of his ability to fool people with his acting ability. Like the villain's in Hitchcock's Rope movie. Killing someone in front of so many people and getting away with it would be seen by him as the highlight of his superiority.

It seems really unlikely he would do it intentionally, knowing how much trouble he would get into, even if he might not go to jail. However, it seems more likely he was firing “blanks” at people or pointing “unloaded” weapons at them and an “accident” happened.
