The whole thing is a bit bizarre.
On the face of it it's a terrible accident and the negligence seems to be (or is being blamed ) on the part of the armory crew and the AD who handed Baldwin the gun and pronounced it 'cold'
Conspiracy theories are starting to take off...Was the gun fiddled with on purpose to make Baldwin look bad given his anti-gun stance?
The thing I don't get is why the gun was pointed at someone who was not part of the 'acting group'...and the trigger pulled.
Good luck to the authorities trying to make sense of all that.
@ LP re Deadwood...It's been a while so I'm not sure whether you caught up with the film. If you liked the series you'll probably enjoy the film. It kind of ties up a few things. When the series was cancelled it left everything a bit up in the air.

Whats the US take on it? If only the camera crew had guns they could've defended the crew from the bullets?
Been a while since Brandon Lee died in a similar fashion but i remember watching something about how that supopsedly happened.
Apparantly when you shoot blanks, sometimes there is a bit left behind in the gun, so if you reload with another blank round, it fires what was left from the previous round and essentially makes it a bullet. In that case it was deemed an error from the stunt coordinator who failed to check properly.
Not sure if its the same with all guns/blanks but a relatively 'simple' mistake has ruined multiple lives.

Ask Dean Cain (ex Superman Character) who's now a real life cop. He knows this stuff back to front. You NEVER fire a gun of ANY type on a movie set. Baldwin's career is now dead. As is his wealth. Great !!

yep
That makes sense.
From the LA times...
"Actor Alec Baldwin was practicing removing a revolver from its holster and aiming toward the camera during rehearsal for the movie “Rust” when director Joel Souza heard “what sounded like a whip and then a loud pop,” according to a search warrant obtained by the Los Angeles Times on Sunday night that also provided grim new details about the final minutes of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ life."

Great !!Did some lighting hoist design/green screen work for a mate who was working at the Docklands studio's and the College of the Arts and watched a few movies being made and its a fairly rigorous process to get a gun on set.The Armourer is the one who will cop it as all the firearm safety stuff falls on their shoulders.
I believe the Armourer involved in the Baldwin film has gone into hiding and with good reason....seems she might have had a few dubious events previously. Even on the student films I watched being made they had the best professionals, its not an area where you take short cuts, all the Armourers I saw were senior gentleman with many years experience not sure this was the case on this film set.

Her father is apparently one of the best in the business and she learn't from him....but she had expressed doubts about her own ability with blanks.
