Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on the set of a Western he was making in New Mexico on Thursday, killing the film’s director of photography and wounding the movie’s director, the authorities said.

Aren’t they supposed to have a gun safety guy on set?
Here’s a Baldwin Tweet that didn’t age well.

“Alec’s prior comments about people and guns give him no quarter from being treated exactly like he treats others.”
Do you mean how he should be treated by law enforcement officials and the justice system or how he should be treated by the general public?
I think you’re right on the money..
What a tragedy for this poor woman and her family. Now maybe it will be the end of this ahole Baldwin.
Yes. Very sad. My heart goes out to his dead man’s family.
A phenomenon known as the Trump effect takes many forms. But it is real.
And that may be fake. This isn’t.

Should there be a difference? Not really sure what you’re getting at.
Oh I see the director of photography was a woman. I stand corrected. Blessings to her grieving family. Super sad.
It is sad. No one should lose their life filming a movie. Yes it has happened sometimes but a movie, no matter the story for the most part is make believe.
Alec Baldwin has always been a pompous ass.
+1 on your post. This was NOT the way that I was hoping that he would stop parodying Trump on SNL.
Brain dead for a couple days before they turned off life support.
I think this is the first USA gun prop fatality since then.
Bad luck for the dead guy and the wounded guy.
On the other hand, I am really cheered up by the thought of neo-Marxist Alec Baldwin lying in bed, wide awake at 2 AM, and his heart beating 120 times a minute.
If it was a “prop firearm”, why was it loaded with a live round? And who had loaded the round? Can’t access the Slimes article to read details without giving them my email address.
I think it’s a bit strange that the director and cinematographer were shot. They were both shot. That’s all I’ll say.
I just remembered...
His daughter is married to Justin Bieber.
With all of the untold thousands of movies and telescreen shows that have been produced that have involved gunshots, I can’t ever recall hearing of anyone who was actually shot or killed on the set during filming.
Why in the world would they be using live ammunition in this day of ubiquitous CGI fakery? A “prop gun” misfire?
Something stinks to high heaven here. Looks like Bullwhip Baldwin was dealt a giant dose of karma. I hope this ends his miserable career once and for all and costs the studio a boatload of money.
Common sense and logic tell me that there should only be the standards of “due process” afforded to him and that no undue process(es) should have any undue influence on the legal case, which I assume it is or should be by now. Courts of public opinion could rule against him and maybe that would ruin his career. Public opinion can’t send him up the river like a Circuit Judge could if there is that kind of damning evidence.
You can easily kill people with blank rounds. Especially because people assume they're safe.
Baldwin at his finest in a phone call to his daughter...
