Baldwin. Guilty ? Of what ? BANG. Whoops.

I feel so bad for the guy, always liked him.
Think he was the victim of someone else's sloppy work.

Thell Reed, father of the "amourer" on the set, was/is considered one of Hollywood's best weapons masters. He would spend weeks with actors on all aspects of gun handling and safety. It's a shame his daughter didn't learn more from him.

From other accounts I've read, she seems quite afraid of firearms; one quoted her as saying "loading them is really scary" and another reported she put a gun on the ground, in the sand, to load it and then immediately handed it to a child actor without checking to see if any debris got into it.

I read that too and couldn't understand growing up in that family how she could have such a lackadaisical and irresponsible attitude. Course, it appears she is working for herself and not for her father or whatever company he has, so maybe there's a rift there.

Alec had a lot of enemies . A lot of people did not like him. A lot of them very powerful people . Remember how upset Trump was about him making fun of him. Alec was frightened for his safety when Trump said this.....

Alec Baldwin is worried about his safety after President Trump reacted to the actor’s impersonation of him on “Saturday Night Live” by suggesting that there should be “retribution” for the comedy sketch show’s “Republican hit job.”

If you play with fire you get burned.and he was a cheap fuck unable to provide proper housing and a safe environment for his staff and so they quit and replaced with inexperienced scabs right before the killing.

this entire scenario stinks to high heaven.

The big “press conference “ is tomorrow. A week after the shooting !! Why the big delay ? It has yet to be disclosed what kind of gun and bullet were used.

Yeah, he kept doing it and kept pissing Trump off.

it just said on the news no more real guns in movies? That’s what they said after Brandon Lee was killed.

Karma defined....

Someone will go to jail but probably not Baldwin. Though I would guess his career is over. Who wants to work with a union busting OSHA rule scofflaw? He sounds like the nefarious target, the Republican Businessman or women.

It was a real Colt .45 revolver.

Baldwin's biggest problem is his cheap ass production, and that will be settled in civil courts and covered by insurance.

Behind the paywall

SANTA FE, N.M. — The Santa Fe County district attorney said on Tuesday that she was not ruling out criminal charges in last week’s fatal shooting on a film set. The actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with a gun that he had been told did not contain live ammunition when it went off, killing the film’s cinematographer and wounding its director.
“We haven’t ruled out anything,” the district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, said in a telephone interview. “Everything at this point, including criminal charges, is on the table.”
Ms. Carmack-Altwies said that the investigation was focusing on ballistics in an effort to determine what kind of round was in the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer — and on who had placed the ammunition in the gun.
“There were an enormous amount of bullets on this set, and we need to find out what kinds they were,” Ms. Carmack-Altwies said. Detectives said that they recovered three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition — in boxes, loose and in a fanny pack — while executing a search warrant on the set, according to an inventory of the items released on Monday. The inventory did not specify what kind of ammunition was found on the set.

Ms. Carmack-Altwies took issue with descriptions of the firearm used in the incident as “prop-gun,” saying that the terminology, which is used in some of the court documents related to the case, could give the misleading impression that it was not a real gun.
“It was a legit gun,” she said, without naming specifically what kind of firearm was used. “It was an antique-era appropriate gun.”
Detectives from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office are proceeding carefully with the investigation, she said, citing the large number of witnesses and the need to methodically collect ballistics and forensics evidence.
What Happened on the Set of “Rust”

• • What We Know: After the actor Alec Baldwin discharged a gun that was being used as a prop on the set of the movie “Rust,” killing the film’s director of photography and wounding the director, Hollywood was in a state of shock. Here is what we know about the episode.
  • Latest: Detectives found three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition — in boxes, loose and in a fanny pack at the scene of the shooting.
  • Remembering the Victim: Friends of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who died in the shooting, described her as a spirited and talented woman who was proud of her Ukrainian heritage.
  • Safety Measures: Real firearms are routinely used while cameras are rolling. Here is how crews minimize the risks and ensure safety.
  • Other Accidents on Set: Deaths and injuries on movie and television sets have occurred with some regularity over the last decades, this partial list of set accidents shows.

The shooting occurred on Thursday on the set of a church where Mr. Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for “Rust,” a Western where he plays an outlaw. According to affidavits included in applications for search warrants, Dave Halls, an assistant director on the set, had gone outside the church and taken the gun off a cart, where it had been placed by the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Mr. Halls handed the gun to Mr. Baldwin, who was rehearsing inside the church, according to the affidavit, and said it was a “cold gun,” indicating that it contained no live rounds and was safe for Mr. Baldwin to handle.

Mr. Baldwin then rehearsed a scene that involved “cross drawing” a revolver and pointing it toward the camera lens, according to the affidavit, when the gun fired — striking Ms. Hutchins in the chest and killing her, and hitting the director of the film, Joel Souza, in the shoulder, wounding him.

Detectives are still interviewing people who were on the set, Ms. Carmack-Altwies said. “It’s probably weeks, if not months, of follow-up investigation that we’re going to need to get to the point of charging.”

Ms. Carmack-Altwies said that she was aware of news reports suggesting that crew members had used guns with live ammunition for target practice hours before the fatal shooting, but said that the reports were “unconfirmed.”
Mamie Mitchell, the script supervisor who called 911 after the shooting, has hired Gloria Allred as her lawyer, according to a statement from Ms. Allred. The statement said they would be conducting their own investigation into the incident “because there are many unanswered questions.”

Ms. Carmack-Altwies, who is expected to speak with reporters on Wednesday morning at a news conference along with Sheriff Adan Mendoza, of Santa Fe County, said that this incident figured among the most challenging cases in Santa Fe County in recent memory.
“We have complex cases all the time,” she said. “But this kind of complex case, with these kinds of prominent people, no.”
