Court records? Wait? They’ve been to court already?

Terrible for the rest of the cast of Coronation St

1. By who? 2. Why didn’t he look? 3. Why didn’t anyone look? 4. Who loaded the gun?

Loving all the Twitter lawyers on here

Sounds like he was framed.

It doesn’t matter whether he was told or not …. He should of checked it himself…… totally his fault, due to his negligence someone is dead, I hope they throw the book at him.

There is absolutely zero reason a live gun would be on set

Whatever was said, who was the last person to know the gun was live and did he/she i) hate Alec Baldwin or ii) know who the gun would be pointed at?

Many Americans are familiar with guns (2nd amendment). 30 seconds for whoever is going to fire to open it and check themself before firing. And why, on a film set, would the armoury stock anything other than blank rounds? Many unanswered questions here.

Jail the murderer for life

support thiz please

Actor is not in the position to make sure the round was blank as BBC wrote in this article:head armourer was.If the gun was put in the set long time before Alec came in,it could be difficult to tell coz anyone but Alec&headarmourer could load it that canbe seen lack in management

Why should that matter any way? Why did you aim a warm body? Isn't that appalling Hollywood culture that has top political protection? Remember how these actors grace Dems' conventions endorsing even the most semi-conscious Dems' candidate in history

The appearance of the gun can not be different from each other depending on whether it was loaded or not. You can’t see it from outside of the gun. It is just a matter of difference in the weight of a sigle live bullet.

when,why and by whom the live bullet was set should be investigated. Alec rationally deemed it was empty.Even If he was the last person who touched the gun,he was not in the position to make sure it was not loaded.the gun was checked by whom and when must have loads of evidence.

“Point at someone’s chest” was necessary for filming of the scene!

Actor is not in the position to make sure the gun is safe as BBC wrote in this article:head amourer was.If the empty gun was put in the set long time before Alec came in,it could be difficult to tell coz anyone but Alec&headarmourer could do it,which can be lack in gun management

nothing like gun safety for anti-gun idiots

Well unless deliberately done it's called a accident mistakes happen we all make them some tragic .I'm sure in life there been other tagic things Chernobyl ,fukishima .

They need to make a film about the making of the film. Columbo classic

From Rachel Maddow. So many safety procedures bypassed

She is/was in the position to make sure it was empty! Alec rationally had right to deem it empty coz it’s crew’s responsible “It names a head armourer - the crewmember responsible for checking firearms -in her twenties and had recently served in that role for only the first time”

Not an actor’s responsibility. It’s just a prop to them. That’s why there are safety people on set.

No. Actor is not, whatsoever, in the position to make sure the gun is empty as BBC wrote in this article, there was a personnel who was responsible to make sure its safety which means it was empty.

Live bullet could not be set to the gun by itself. So when the live bullet was set and by whom should be answered. Alec is a political figure who was once seen as a GOP presidential candidate.He can be a target. But unfortunately, everything should be on the table to make sure.

The gun also mis fired twice that week....and the crew complained about it, Something weird going on here.

If he was told it was dangerous he’d be in big trouble now

How horrible!!!

An extremely sad, tragic and devastating incident

VWAZ TOWL’D DAT DA GUWN VWAZ ZSAYFE 🔫😳

Can anyone explain to me how in this day and age you would even need a gun loaded or not on set with all the special effects kicking about these days? I call foul play

Alec Baldwin has treated people horribly for simply having a different political view. He’s made vile remarks and made fun of a former president to foment division and hate. Because of this, we know Baldwin is a bad guy and has little respect for other peoples well being.

Guns don’t kill people…..right.

Immaterial

OMG!
