Tragedy on a Movie Set

Alec Baldwin killed a woman with a 'prop gun' that was obviously a real loaded weapon. I don't know the details but I do feel bad for Baldwin, regardless how I feel about him as a person.

Waiting for more details.
In the meantime questions arise:
1. He not only shot a cinematographer (killed) but also wounded another person. Why did he shoot twice?
2. Why did he point the gun at ancillary personnel and pull the trigger? They were off stage.

Definitely need more details.

It is being reported that Baldwin was ranting about Trump and waving the gun around when he pointed at the crew and discharged the firearm.

See it was Trump's fault.

Does this seem like an episode of Columbo or Ellery Queen to anyone else?

REPORTED....the prop asst. or manager gave him the gun and stated it was UNLOADED, when asked.

An additional fact:
The bullet that killed Ms. Hutchens, exited her body and injured Mr. Souza, according to investigators and people on the scene.Not two shots as I had hypothesized.

The NRA teaches:

Firearm Safety Rule No. 1: Treat every gun as if it were loaded

"Every gun deserves an air of respect, and the best way to exhibit that is to always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never assume that a gun is unloaded. This holds true even when you handle a firearm without shooting it, like during maintenance and cleaning processes. The same mindset applies when you conduct dry-fire practice drills. Another good procedure is to have another shooter verify that the gun being handled is unloaded."

HA,
Your post deserves it's own thread. It has no relevance to the Hutchens killing.

Let me see now.....TRAINING/SAFETY was a concern on the set,reports of inadequate safety measures
and some walked off set.

Your OWN quote is the TOPIC.....there are rules to owning a gun and TRAINING IS AT THE TOP.
