The Daily Beast writer is extremely ignorant of firearms and terms related to them. She writes several times, "misfire," yet hasn't a clue that "misfire" means the cartridge DID NOT FIRE.. Well whatever kind of round was in Baldwin's gun, it was not a "misfire." The cartridge fired and a woman died and a man was wounded.
I imagine Baldwin wishes desperately that the cartridge had actually "misfired."
FWIW.
