[quote=Anonymous]People are assuming the gun was aimed at the cinematographer. I know next to nothing about guns. Given that this was by all accounts an accident and no one in the room was aware the gun had anything in it (whether blank, debris, or what), is it possible for material to fire out if a gun at an angle? Again, I have no clue and when I Googled I could not find anything useful, so I’m asking. Is it possible that (as some reports have said) Baldwin was pointing the gun down towards the ground but the “live round” (which may have been debris left from when the ammunition’s master was firing the gun earlier in the day) came out of the gun at an angle, or perhaps producing a chunk of shrapnel that broke off and hit the cinematographer and director?

I ask because people are fixated on the idea that Baldwin aimed the gun at these people. But everyone involved, including the woman who was killed, were skilled veterans of film sets. I have a hard time believing that they would rehearse this by having Baldwin point the gun at anyone, even if they assumed it was a cold gun, simply because the rules on firearms on set are so extensive.

I just think a lot of people in this thread are letting their imaginations run wild and assuming they know where people were standing and how this happened, and I think most of us have no idea because we’ve never been in a situation like that. But the people involved had, many times.[/quote]
