This is similar to the very last episode of Perry Mason.
They were filming a scene when someone is killed, allegedly by a stunt gun.

It was actually someone with a real gun, and it was Dick Clark of all people.
Baldwin is gonna lose a heap of cash.
“FBI Says Deadly ‘Rust’ Gun Could Not Have Fired Without Someone Pulling Trigger”
fortunately for baldwin, no one believes the fbi anymore ...
imo…They won’t arrest Alex
Alex hates Trump….
Alex did their bidding on Saturday Night Live
His reward is freedom.
Regarding the title of the article, is a gun only deadly after someone dies from it?
I thought all guns and mostly all weapons were deadly.
More people die in America each year by weapons called “hands and feet” than by all rifles for example.
Bull.
I once pulled the hammer back—almost all the way; without locking—accidently and that sucker went off.
Scared the crap out of me and my knees started to wobble thinking what would have happened if my brother-in-law was downrange of me (he had just stepped back to the firing line).
It was a screw up on my part. I had no intention to make the piece fire, but you know about intentions. Lots of people get killed.
Sounds like this revolver has a transfer bar safety. If so, Baldwin definitely was pressing the trigger.
It took the FBI to figure that out?
Happy to hear they’re on top of this very important issue…
It DOES happen.
Clinton never inhaled.
In other news, it has been determined that water is wet.
It only took a couple of years for Mr Potato Head’s finest to figure out something that common gun users knew within hours after it happened once they identified the gun used.
Took them this long to figure that out?
Just what I and many other SAA owners have said. It’s not possible.
All gun owners knew this already
I just wanna make sure - the FBI tested the actual pistol that was used on the set, not just one of that make/model, right?
There is video of Baldwin pulling the trigger. He is guilty. He needs to be in jail.
I thought there were questions about the whole setup.
Were they actually ready to film the scene when this happened or was it some kind of rehearsal where bullets weren’t needed and pulling the trigger was not needed?
As the owner of two single action revolvers I must say that the trigger pull weight requires relatively low pressure to release the hammer. It is one of the features of that design that make them a pleasure to shoot. Under 4 pounds on many models and on some single actions even less. So, an actor who is “dramatically caressing” the trigger of a cocked single action could easily release the hammer. That does not excuse the actor from direct responsibility for the negligent discharge or excuse him from liability for the incident.
