A crew member on a previous production says she raised safety concerns about the assistant director who authorities say handed Alec Baldwin a prop gun that killed a cinematographer. The assistant director has not spoken publicly about Thursday's shooting.

The gun Baldwin used was one of three that a firearms specialist, or “armorer,” had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to court records. Halls grabbed a gun off a cart and handed it to Baldwin, indicating that the weapon was safe by yelling “cold gun,” court papers say. Instead, it was loaded with live rounds, according to the records.

Goll, a prop maker and licensed pyrotechnician, said in her email that Halls’ behavior on set has concerned her in the past.

Anyone connected to that 'firearm', including the individual who pulled the trigger, should be charged.

Question is why did Baldwin aim and shoot gun at cinematographer?

People have to stop focusing on one or two individuals and talk about an unregulated industry that lets producers save money by cutting all the corners. An AD with a bad safety rep is ideal if time and budget are your main priorities, and so is a non-union 24yr old weapons chief.

Well, accepting a weapon without clearing it yourself is a good indication of poor training all around...?

This just keeps getting worse.

DocWashburn Basic firearms safety procedure is to assume that every firearm is loaded.

Like the Crow. Did someone honestly not check? Or did a demon think the writer and actors were trying to play God in that movie? God does not punish humans. Was it someone jealous on set? Ignoring criminal activity does not help anyone. History repeats.

According to how the law works for Black people, everyone involved is guilty and should get multiple life term prison sentences. Everyone who played a part must be removed from society!

The probability that Trump is connected to this directly or indirectly is not zero. Think about that for a second.
