Media sure sprayed Baldwin’s PR teams version everywhere - for weeks.
I said there would be more to the story.

Arec barwin did something with a gun? 👀
I wonder how long this DA would be delaying an arrest if a random crew member had accidently killed the poor woman?
alec thought it was fun to play with a gun
Had he taken an NRA Safety Course she would be alive today. Instead he wasted his time blasting Trump and Republicans in general. Screw him. Hope he does hard time. But he won’t...
At a minimum, it’s depraved indifference. And then Baldwin will face the civil suit for her family. He’’s done. You shouldn’t play with firearms.
Oh he was just letting off some steam. Venting some anger. We all do that.
Did he have to cock that gun before pulling the trigger? (just curious)
Baldwin? Is he the guy jet setting around bar hopping with no remorse?
Baldwin began:
“So, I suppose the question is...what kind of civil trial will we see, or not see, between Cheney and Whittington? Whittington is certainly no stranger to a court room and to civil litigation. Will Cheney pay him off, preemptively? Will they go to court? I would imagine if a guy with a few beers in him shoots you in the face on a hunting trip, how could you turn down that opportunity?”

“Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions.”
But it was fun!!!
So sorry Alec, there goes your career, reputation, and a shit load of money you arrogant homicidal prick. Buhbye.
As another FReeper said, if the script was for Arec Baldwin to act out himself playing Russian roulette you can damn well bet he would have checked that gun. Lock him up!
Sounds like he straight up murdered her in a very cold blooded way.
“...recklessly fired a gun when it wasn’t called for...”
I wasn’t aware of any time there was a reckless request in a script to fire a gun at anyone. They are not supposed to point the prop gun straight at anyone when they discharge it even during the filming.
There are times when the gun may be discharged at a camera, but if there needed to be a person operating the camera they would be protected by safety goggles, a safety visor and a perspex screen that withstands pretty much anything. Definitely a blank discharge. Rest of the time they use a remote.
This wasn’t a matter of an accidental mistake. It was a moron not following procedures that have been in effect since the early 1980’s trying to be cute. That’s not an accident, that negligence.
So it has little to do with the script anyway. They’re playing “spectacular” for no reason. The basics of what he did wrong already covers the conclusion of the stupidity and ego.

Ping. It's looking like my anonymous commenter over on the other website had it right.
And I forgot to mention, this commenter said they were on the set when the accident happened. Maybe it was just someone looking for a little attention, but this current bit of information seems to support what the anonymous commenter said had happened.

That is why they have rubber guns and non-firing replicas for use as props. No shooting in the scene? No need for a gun that can shoot anything.
The day after this happened I read, but never saw it again, that someone on set said that AB was ranting and raving, I think it was about politics and was wildly waving the gun, then pointed at the camerawoman and said expletives and then pulled the trigger( don’t quote me on sequence). I never heard about ti afterward. I wonder if it is true. I also wonder what this person who field a civil suit listed as a cause of action—how was she harmed?
