Possibly more gossip than fact but...Exclusive Eyewitness Recounts Shooting on Alec Baldwin Movie Set: One bullet ripped through both victims -- (link) - oblique Oct 22, 06:38
Sadly reminiscent of the story around the guy from Voyagers! but so much worse. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 22, 05:26
day one in any gun course. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 05:14
We don't know the exact scenario, only the result. Maybe it seemed like things were set up safely. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 21:57 12
- My friend was married to an armorer - this is on them actually. Alec should never have been given any 'prop' weapon without explicit instructions/ -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 06:29 8
  - True. But also, he has been in sets with firearms before. He should know better. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 06:33 7
    - here is my guess... -- (edited) - Andie Oct 22, 06:53 6
      - Again, even if the gun is supposed to be empty, you don't shoot towards someone. Period. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:08 1
        
        oh, i don't disagree. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 07:17
      - This was my thought too -- nm - zork Oct 22, 07:01
      - “In all my years, I’ve never been handed a hot gun,” the actor allegedly kept saying. -- (link) - marum scarum Oct 22, 06:56 2
        
        which i believe. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 06:56 1
        
        Right, I see no reason not to. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 22, 06:59
- No matter what the scenario, it was preventable and somebody screwed up. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 22, 06:06
- yup. no idea what type or size of gun. how it was set up [big clip automatic?], is it a part failure, or stupid human, etc. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 21, 22:41 1
  - OK, I assume it is possible that Baldwyn shot the gun during a scene where he was supposed to shoot at, and the thing ricocheted. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 05:54
