Actor Alec Baldwin has been seen consoling the family of the cinematographer he accidentally killed on the set of his movie, as more reports emerge of troubling practices during the filming.Ms Hutchins, a cinematographer, was fatally shot by Baldwin with a prop gun last ThursdayAttention has turned to the film's armourer as part of an ongoing police investigation
when Mr Baldwin discharged a prop gun he was handed, having been told it was not loaded, court documents said.In a statement read to a candlelight vigil overnight, Mr Hutchins said his wife's death was "an enormous loss". Ms Hutchins's father, Anatoly Androsovych, spoke to UK media in the wake of his daughter's death and said he does not hold Baldwin responsible.
I do, no one takes for granted a gun capable of firing is harmless and then point and discharge it, just how stupid is he? And prop guns should be that, props, not real guns. That's careless disregard for human life
So sad
Why is there even a threat of live ammunition in a gun on a movie set to begin with? Isn’t it all pretend? Nothing is real. It’s a movie!
Alec Baldwin is a lousy shot. He was aiming for the camera lens where the projectile would have lodged harmlessly somewhere inside the camera.
Of course he’s responsible. At two levels he is, one he was handed the gun and fired it. There is a responsibility of checking the gun and being adequately trained. second is he was a producer, so he is responsible for the goings on, on the film set, including unsafe practices
