...Baldwin's attorney(s) will hire PR people who likely are already arranging an Oprah moment where he cries on TV and talks about what a tragedy gun violence is and how he's donating his time and money to gun control, totally ignoring the hypocrisy of his using a gun to make a living.
That's exactly what will happen.
"Oh boo hoo, it's all about me, poor me, look how virtuously sad I am, and btw everyone should use this as an example of why we need to ban guns for everybody except movie actors who make multi-million dollar salaries portraying how cool they are with guns."
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
I always assumed they had a firearms safety/arsenal expert in charge of all guns and usage, surely they aren't letting actors pick up guns/load and go film a scene ?
There was another actor killed a while back with a point blank head shot, can't remember who he was...but wasn't Lee.

Baldwin has been acting for many years. Therefore, as a long time actor, he can cry on demand. Whenever he's being interviewed/filmed now regarding the "incident," he'll turn on the tears at the right moment. It'll do him much good with his liberal fans ... but it won't help him in court when the civil suits are tried.

"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." (William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830s.)
If it were an accident, only one would have been shot. He is famous for being a hothead, he shot them on purpose.
Camera producer is behind the camera lining up the shot. Director is right behind her leaning over her lining up the shot. Baldwin is told to shoot at the camera. He shoots at the camera. The bullet goes through the woman and into the shoulder of the director.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
Wonder if Trump will go on SNL and do an Alec Baldwin with a 6 gun impersonation?
That would be Fuggin Awesome. And Hilarious.
Trump ought to troll the schitt out of him!
I'd pay to see it!
Would make Trump look bad, he's not that stupid.

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.
I always loaded any firearm in front of the actor using it. Showed them they were blanks and answered any questions they might have.
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.
