Members of the crew making 'Rust' had walked off the set just hours before the deadly incident.

, citing sources, was the first to report Friday that there were two misfires of a prop gun on Saturday and that six hours before the fatal shooting union camera operators and their assistants walked off the job to protest working conditions.

Weapons used on movie and TV sets are kept in safes and the number of people who handle them are kept to a minimum, Amy said. Even so, before they’re handed to the actors the gun barrels are checked to make sure there is no bullet inside as are the revolving cylinders, Amy said.Then, before the filming is started, the crew dons protective face and ear coverings and nobody pulls a trigger until a signal is given, said Amy.

Aren't movie sets covered by OSHA?

Safety protocols were not followed and now we hear the assistant director handed him the gun. There's gonna be a lot of back and forth on who's to blame but Baldwin is not the one.

Pick up a gun and don’t check to see if it’s loaded - dumb. Point a gun at someone - dumber. Squeeze the trigger - dumbest. Actor not thinker.

No more guns on a movie set.

Curious to see how the Film Actors Guild responds to this.

So Baldwin is the producer on it as well. Ugh

There’s the rub

Omg! 😢

Is he going to see any jail time? I think it's a sad story, & that he should have to go to trial. If it would been a normal citizen shooting a movie for a film festival. The law & courts would have they're way with him. Because real life murder isn't a movie.

the other 'misfires' are irrelevant because a prop can misfire but that doesn't mean a projectile is shot out of a prop? sorry, but this mistake, even if genuine mistake, is criminal.. like drinking and driving

Alec Baldwin is a murderer!

why are we talking about baldwin? who the hell loaded the gun? irrelevant if it misfired, there is no reason why any projectile exited the gun to begin with.. this isn't an easy mistake to make, wtf?

Seems like this set was playing with fire and it finally got burnt

我被脑控流氓迫害35年。亲人被车祸、被癌症、被中风,死亡8位,死状惨烈。亲人车祸骨折和重大疾病发生千百次。各种常人闻所未闻的黑科技酷刑和迫害。大小攻击达百万次。简直丧心病狂、惨无人道。 请全世界关注脑控受害者。因为这事关所有人的命运与自由。

Sad thing is if a regular person accidentally shot someone / killed them they’d be in jail instantly but because of his name he’s in no trouble how is that fair to us common folks?

This is bad news for Baldwin. A lawsuit will probably end the production of this film!

Negligence and Involuntary Manslaughter … No Doubt otherwise special favor

Baldwin needs to be charged . . .

The 4 Basic Gun Safety Rules: 1. Treat all guns as if they are loaded. 2. Keep the gun pointed in the safest possible direction. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4. Know your target, its surroundings, and beyond. 1 and 2 were obviously ignored.

🤔

So sad… Prayers for all involved and their families. 🙏🏾😞💔

He should have checked.

I was referred to this platform by a friend online and I thought it was a scam...but I was moved to try and yes I did earned....I just want to use the opportunity to share this to people to know how Miss Lisaberry1426 platform works...her good deed need a recommendation

Newsworthy because...?

Looks like her family will have solid ground for a negligence suit. Never will bring her back but at least $$ should never be a concern for them.

Awful news ..

🙏🏻🙏🏻
