Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cast Member of Alec Baldwin’s Movie Killed by Prop Gun “Misfire”

It doesn't state twice in the article I read. Thinking the bullet passed thru the woman and hit the director. Something like that. Just speculating.

Has Alex started a GoFundMe page yet?

I read somewhere the last words from the director were....cut...for fugg sake...cut.

I could understand a fellow actor/actress being on the receiving end of this during a scene. But the crew?????

He had to be messing around and turned a fired at them on purpose. Probably trying to be a comedian or smart ass. Negligent homicide may be in play.

Karma...

Sad for the woman.


Clyde

This seems to happen all to often.

Exactly. Thank you.

But, he's a democrat. There will be no blowback on him.

I was reading somewhere else where people were suggesting that since it was the principle photographer, the person responsible for setting up the shots, that Baldwin might have been firing toward a camera and they weren't an appropriate distance away

purely speculation though

To the point of banning guns in all movies, if that were to happen, Hollywood would be unable to produce a movie.

The whole thing is he had a loaded gun. Wasn't smart enough to check. How many of us would get by with that? Plain and simple. He needs to fry.

I wonder how many actors/actresses never check and trust the prop guy. It would take 10 years to shoot a John Wick movie if Reeves had to check all those weapons and ammo.

That would be my guess. If so, I hope the POS goes to jail for it.
But being a DemoRat and a Trump Hater, he’ll probably get a pass by a Libertard Prosecutor and Sherrifs Dept in NM. It apparently took place in Santa Fe, a Libertard Schitthole 😡

reading now it was a single bullet that hit both of them.


I still have trouble believing that is was a bullet. How does that even happen?

That's the tweet I was waiting to read. Horrible situation but its funny how so many leftist's words come back at them.

Baldwin is a Democrat, a Hollyweird "star", and a total ass. It will be the armorer's fault, and the gun's. Money on it.

Even if charged with something, he will have half a dozen attorneys on it, and get off with nothing, or nothing significant.

I doubt there were blanks in that firearm, but I know nothing about larger caliber blanks, so maybe there is penetration enough in the wad or whatever..

IMDb offers the following synopsis of “Rust,” which has now been halted: “A 13 year-old boy, left to fend for himself and his younger brother following the death of their parents in 1880’s Kansas, goes on the run with his long estranged grandfather after he’s sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher.”

I read this last night and thought how ironic. I am surprised no one here posted this yet. The irony of Baldwin playing the grandfather who is sentenced to hang for an accidental killing. You guys saying he should hang for it didn't even know you were quoting the script.

Lee's son died when they put in dummy bullets in a smith 629 so you could see the projectile in the scene, prop guys left the primers in. Squib load occurred. Then they put in blanks without clearing the barrel. Well a blank sent that bullet down range.

You would be kind of at the mercy of your prop people. You could check the pistol, but from the back, a blank is going to look the same as a live round. You could say he shouldn’t have been pointing it at anyone, but maybe he wasn’t. They don’t point pistols firing blanks at people because they’ve learned bad things can happen even with blanks. But an actual bullet goes a lot farther than blank. For all we know they could have been shooting and these people were twenty yards away doing something else.
