Thanks for getting me up to speed on that.
I remember when Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, was shot during a scene for the movie, The Crow. I had wondered if this was similar, but it sounds like there's much more to this story that's already come out.
The Brandon Lee story was quite different.In that film they were using a S&W model 629.Someone had fired that weapon with blanks and unknown to the user the wad got stuck in the barrel.When the armorer was preparing the gun for a scene that was to be shot, he had no more blanks,so he removed the bullet and powder from a real round.Unfortunately when the gun was fired the primer caused enough pressure which then pushed the stuck wad from the barrel with adequate velocity to kill Brandon Lee.
That's as much as I remember from that incident.
