He is then quizzed.
‘Did you see the rounds in the gun?’
‘No.’
‘Have you seen what they look like?’
‘I’ve watched her load and reload the gun many times.’
‘Have you seen the bullets?’
‘Sometimes the head is a casing, it’s pinched and closed at the top and you put the cosmetic round in when you know you’re going to see... those clay based rounds look exactly like a bullet.
‘So cosmetically you see that in the cylinder. I am very upset right now... forgive me.’
Baldwin was asked if there was anyone who might have intentionally placed a live bullet in the gun.
He referenced the fact there were crew strikes at the time and that many of the crew walked off set the previous day.
‘Those people were on strike against the major studios but not the independent film community. A bunch of people on the set walked off anyway even though they were told not to. That was yesterday.
‘I don’t even know - I have no idea,’ he said.
Why are they releasing this now?
I am adept with fire arms. I shoot often. My shooting partner is equally adept. We shoot each others weapons. When I hand him my weapon or he hands his mine we tell each it is chambered or not. He nor I would ever hand a chambered weapon unless on the firing range and full knowledge it is chambered and on safe. Glocks are a little different. He or I both check that this is correct. This is just basic gun safety.
