Alec Baldwin says his 'heart is broken' for family of dead cinematographer Halyna HutchinsThe 63-year-old 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live actor was seen distraught outside the sheriff's office after what his spokesperson called a misfire of a prop gun. Praying for all involved! Unbelievably cruel & distasteful that you ran the headline ‘Alec Baldwin shots & kills crew member’ across the bottom of the screen on News 24. Absolutely disgusted by this callousness. I read that Trumpis ghouls are celebrating this happening was it to appeal to them? Hideous. Two questions 1 why is a real gun used as a prop when it's easy to make an inoperative replica 2 Why was he pointing and discharging a gun pointed at a person prop or otherwise.

Baldwin didn’t know weapon contained live round: court documentsActor Alec Baldwin was handed a loaded weapon allegedly by an assistant director who indicated it was safe to use in the moments before a cinematographer was fatally shot, court records show. Basic firearms safety, the gun is always loaded and never point it something you don’t intend to shoot. Appalling lack of discipline. Loaded or not, why would you point the gun at the chest of a cinematographer and fire? If he was shooting another actor as part of a scene then sure…..but the camera crew?
