A prop gun was used for target practice with live ammo and was generally not under lock and key and then later used in the filming of a scene . The armorer failed to notice that a live round made its way into the gun when it was handed to Alec having it accidentally discharge killing someone.
Normally you wouldn’t even point the gun at someone even if it’s loaded with blanks. A blanks produce a large explosion and would not normally be fired at someone at close range!
Alec Baldwin did not have a 'prop gun'. Prop guns don't have firing pins. They can't fire a bullet!

It’s not Baldwin fault sorry ladies.
Good by Hannah Gutierrez Reed…she is a baby.
With all the men out there with more expertise…why would they hire a inexperienced female armorer..Why ?
Nothing going to happen to Baldwin or anyone else directly connected in this ce . another cover up.
It was a live round in a REAL working gun, not a "prop" gun. All the media calling it a prop gun implies that it wasn't just a gun. It was just a gun…regardless of how it was used.
It wasn't a prop gun, it was a REAL gun. And it didn't "discharge", he pulled the trigger. Fake azz news.
Ya no what ,I'm getting tired of hearing about it.AlecBaldwen is and ass hole he shot 2 people killing 1 .charge the bastered with murder. Get it over with.
When you refuse to learn and accept guns- a vital tool in the preservation of freedom- ridiculous things like this happen. Good job leftists.
Does "cold" mean blanks or empty?
If the gun was left unattended on a cart between the time the armorer handled it and the time the first AD picked it up it doesn't matter if the armorer loaded it or didn't load it. Anyone could have inserted a live round into that gun while it was unattended. Seems to me they're going to have to be doing a lot of fingerprint checking.
Also, regardless of anything else that happened, Alec Baldwin should have checked that weapon to determine that it was empty for himself. He is responsible for not doing that, and as a result is responsible for the death of that young woman and the injury of the director.
Ive been around guns 50 years daily
You dont ever point any “type†of Gun at anyone fake or real or dummy ammo ! A blank gun could kill you one grain of sand in a barrel and a blank The powder could blind you
Alec is not a child he should have cleared the gun himself they are all to blame all idiots. If they need a real gun there should be a separate armorer taking responsibility Unlock the gun and lock when it its done used and should never have left his sight. Why would a working gun be sitting with dummy guns Regardless never point a gun at a person anyone who picks up any gun they need to clear it as a back up to the armorer in case he or she is an idiot. Theres nothing else to be said. Even starter guns are aimed in the air and never aimed at people and treated as a firearm.
It doesn’t really make any difference who grab what off of a cart no live rounds is supposed to be on the set that’s the rule if they is we already have a problem we already have somebody that’s responsible and he’s or she is guilty
Baldwin murdered a woman.
SORRY SITUATION …….YOU POINT A A GUN ITS YOURE RESPONSIBILITY
WOW IT WAS EVEN LISA
PARKER AND STONE ……ARE GONNA HAVE PLAY DATE……. YOU R WORTHLESS AREK BARDRINg
WHY DO THEY GO ON WITH THIS,, NO ONE WILL EVER BE ARRESTED, ESPECIALY NOT BALDWIN
I just watched an interview with the armorer's attorneys and they are not doing her any favors. They said that a live round was potentially placed in a box of dummy rounds and they look so similar that it would basically be an honest mistake for her to check the loaded rounds and not notice a live round. That is ridiculous. Her job is to know the difference. I have learned about these different type of rounds and it is clear that there are noticeable differences to the look of these bullets. I don't think this is all her fault, however, I think her attorneys statements were more harmful to her case.
The biggest issue here is that the movie was low budget and they were trying to cut corners, so the armorer was working as both armorer and prop master. Baldwin used the gun without the armorer present, which is a huge safety violation. Is that her fault, his fault or the Assistant Director's fault? I would say all three of them had a hand in this tradegy and should face charges.
If the scene called for Baldwin to point the gun at his own head and pull the trigger you think he would have checked it?
They have to stop calling this a prop gun. It was a real gun that could fire live ammo. A prop gun does not have the ability to fire at all.
Why were any live rounds found on the movie set. The Armorer being responsible for custody & control of weapons & ammo should've insured there were no live rounds on the set.
What was "live ammunition" doing one that set to begin with? If Alec wasn't so stupid he would've checked the gun.
Who played with these guns earlier that day? Shooting at skeets! Asking for a friend!
That clown is a prick , if he does'nt get prison time , i will never respect the law again!
So the guns were on a cart outside where anyone could have put a live round in the gun. Not really enough detailed information for anyone to think they know what happened.
Stop trying to make excuses, Baldwin and MSM!!! You're pathetic. It just goes to show that you have very bad character if you refuse accountability, just like corrupt politicians and corrupt law enforcement officers.
Supposedly, the incident happened during a scene rehearsal. If that's true, why was there any ammo in the gun at all?
Apparently this movie was made on the run, people did not have a hotel, they did not hire weapons experts, nor sound effects equipment! some people resigned, including Lane Luper
Stop saying a prop gun, it fired bullets it's a gun a real gun!!!!!!!!
It’s kind of hard to imagine the actor has no real training or responsibility in this. I don’t think Alec intentionally killed anyone. But being around guns all my life I can’t imagine taking a gun from someone without checking that it’s safe myself. Just my two cents, for what it’s worth
1:03 lema? its helena
I cant be negligent im Alec Baldwin, when he was told it was a cold gun would he have held it too his own head without checking it?
Why is there still no arrest or arrests? There was clearly negligence on this set! Charges would of already happened if it was anyone else, several at fault here.
They talked about shooting cans out back in between sets. S9me9ne used live rounds to do that!
I have the same questions he does…. why is nobody publishing transcripts of the Asst Director’s version of events??
To bad no one on the set practiced gun safety rules as taught by the NRA, gun clubs and ranges.
The liberals are afraid and ignorant of how to handle firearms and consequently want to take EVERYONES fire arms away, because of THEIR ignorance!
1 Always handle a firearm as though it's loaded.
2 Always check a fire arm to be sure it is not loaded when handed to you!
3 NEVER point a fire arm at anyone for any reason!
4 Only aim at your target when ready to fire and check that it is clear behind your target!
5 NEVER put your finger on the trigger until you are cleared to fire at the target!
IF any one these rules were followed no one would have been shot and guns DON'T shoot unless SOMEONE pulls the trigger!
Finger prints on cartridge?
The "new" justice system ( the media.) Will find Baldwin innocent. And the story will fade away.
