How on earth does a live round find its way on to a movie set and in to a firearm that has been checked by the armourer? There is no way that anyone with very basic firearms training could mistake a live round for a blank.
There are protocols for firing weapons loaded with blanks in the direction of folk on or off movie sets. We were permitted to aim rifles and machine guns loaded with blanks directly at the "enemy" provided they were 10m or more away.
That is a ridiculous statement. Firearms are routinely discharged on the sets of many movies, and most Hollywood movies.
Baldwin must be devastated but the information released indicates that he was told the firearm was safe. If anything affects his career, it will be the psychological impact of accidentally taking a life.
