He would have had to have his finger on the trigger, pull it all while aimed at people. Sigh. Idiot

Not Baldwins fault. Whoever is suppose to make sure it's safe is the only one to blame.

As people have explained, he's the producer and bears ultimate responsibility to ensure that safety regulations are adhered to on set.

Stop being so pedantic. He may not have known that rules weren’t being followed. As a producer do you imagine he is walking being every person on set, double check thier work? Is that what you do with your direct reports, constantly reviewing every aspect of their work while also doing yours. That’s why you hire good people and trust them to do their jobs. The notion that AB “should have known” is repugnant. Not a fan of the man but I certainly have compassion for him.

1) How did he shoot a cinematographer and director? He would not have been acting so was using a prop improperly outside of filming.
2) How did the second person get shot? It's not like a rapid-fire prop.
3) Clearly someone called paparazzi to show up at the police station and folks he's a great actor, he turned it on for the photos. This is in the middle of Fing nowhere NM. Where did the paps come from? Definitely seems like a set up by his agent.

Something doesn't smell right at all. If it wasn't intentional it was definitely irresponsible.

These are the exact questions I was asking myself.

You really believe that Alec Baldwin would rig this nightmare for publicity? Get out of here with your nonsense.

Don't put words in my mouth. The buck stops with him, that's all, just like for any head of any organization. That's for starters.
Now we may find that he acted rashly, was horsing around, did not follow safety rules, etc... But even if everything was above board, the top person is responsible for the organization's accidents. Period.

These are the same people who thought Trump care about them and that children were being enslaved in the basement of a pizza parlor. They will believe the most ludicrous conspiracies before they acknowledge Occam's Razor.

This is terrible. I feel for all involved.

No it doesn’t you hire professionals and it’s their responsibility to do their job.

If we find out he did not hire safety staff it’s in him.

He’s probably liable for a civil suit. At least enough liability that he will settle out of court.

I doubt he will be found criminally negligent, but that’s really fact dependent here.

lots more needs to come out of this tragic story.

It would be awful, but if it's not his fault he doesn't need to feel guilty.

If a prop can kill you therein lies the blame of who authorized that prop.

Except the prop master walked off the set the day before, presumably after telling Alec his objections over set safety, and Alec still proceeded to use both dangerous props and keep the set open without adhering to safety protocols.

I don’t think Alec is the only responsible for keeping the set open.

Actually yes he is. As Producer (the highest ranking person on the production team) and Lead Actor if he says the set stays open - it stays open.

Baldwin reteams with Crown Vic director Joel Souza for a Western in which he’ll play an infamous outlaw who comes out of hiding to stop his 13-year-old grandson from being hanged for murder. Highland Film Group will be handling sales of the project, which Baldwin also produces.

Several producers on this film and he’s not the Executive Producer.

What does it matter what you think about him?

Agreed, and it will come out.

But there are a few likely explanations as to how this happened:

-Live round or bullet trapped in firearm from previous use
-Faulty blank where the wadding or piece of cartridge was projected from the firearm
-Camera position down-barrel from the firearm for this specific scene, thereby putting crew in the line of fire
-Purposeful act of sabotage by someone on set

+1.

This is not his fault. No one at the top of any org is going around to each individual double-checking safety or anything else.

Anyone saying otherwise is flat out wrong.
