It was on set of his movie and they were using a prop gun. He shot and killed the cinematographer and injured the director. I can only imagine the guilt he must be feeling.
It may have been a prop, people have died from being hit by "blanks" at close range, including Brandon Lee, star of the cult classic "The Crow".
So people are supposed to be almost as careful with prop guns loaded with blanks as they have to be with real guns, and that's the big question. Baldwin is known to be an asshole with short temper, was he doing anything dangerous or inappropriate???
Right people are supposed to be just as careful with props as real weapons. I don't think it was disclosed what exactly type of weapon it was, but I hope it wasn't pointed directly at someone. Maybe it wasn't since it did not hit an actor/actress? Lots of questions and will depend on what witnesses say. High profile actor so I doubt this will go anywhere.
It doesn't mean he's a dumb ass. You can't really know how it happened until an investigation takes place. Brandon Lee died from a poorly "assembled" prop gun.
Read the details about the Brandon Lee case. I’m not saying that’s what happened here but it’s an instance where projectiles are used on movie sets.
He placed a blank to his head and pulled the trigger. The compressed forces and powder went into his temple and killed him. Had he had the muzzle a couple of feet from him that would not have happened. The Brandon Lee case was different. There was a lead bullet lodged in the barrel and a blank was fired which was like creating a muzzle loader. Brandon Lee was killed by a bullet. He very well could have been killed from a distance of 50’. The dude from silk stalkings was killed by gunpowder and compressed gassed.
The two cases are completely different. I don’t know what happened with Baldwin but two people were not struck by a blank. A projectile passed through one into the other or it was a shotgun shell.
Well none of us were there so we are just going by the news reports. But doesn't it strike you as being kind of suspicious. Of all the people the loud mouth bully boy Alec Baldwin who is always in the news for the wrong reasons accidentally shoots someone dead. It's a cynical news reporter's wet dream. I mean it couldn't have been brought about in some way or other, could it ? Has the world sunk that low ? Has the world always been that low ?
you are more than a bit of a fool who rolls around the world with about 4 or 5 fixed ideas playing in your head.
but there is still hope - get your head out of your ass and broaden you mind. limbaugh is dead. get some new information sources that aren't stamped wingnutApproved.
yes, the MSM is irritatingly uber-woke. but don't use that GENERALIZATION to filter your observations of every event.
this was an A C C I D E N T, and AB's politics were not known by the gun that tragically killed these people. as for the circumstances, we don't know yet, and they may color our assessment. but you jumped before that. which is where being a tool/fool comes in.
my 2 cents on your horrible take. take it or leave it.
They can fake it with their hands. People don't get punched in the face for real in movies as well, but they do look like they did. It's called "acting."
I think he's wondering if the gun wasnt accidentally loaded with live. cos I am
a blank hitting two people sounds unlikely.
or maybe he was firing several shots of blank?
we dont know as yet
It’s a little more complicated than that. The guy on the set of Silk Stalkings was killed by a blank at close range. Look up how Brandon Lee was killed. By an unfortunate chain of events it was basically a muzzle loader effect.
