Alec Baldwin Fired Prop Gun That Killed Halyna Hutchins, Injured Director

[Hawkeye10]

but he is for pointing it AT a person and then pulling the trigger

You are all the way wrong.

These are the movies, not real life, different rules apply here.

"According to the affidavit by the detective in the Santa Fe County sheriff’s office, the gun used in the shooting was set up by Hannah Gutierrez, the production’s armorer, and handed to Mr. Baldwin by Dave Halls, the assistant director. Neither Ms. Gutierrez nor Mr. Halls responded to requests for comment.


In addition to Mr. Zanoff, five other experts in the use of firearms on film or television sets said that it was against usual protocol for an assistant director to hand a gun to an actor. One of the experts, Mike Tristano, a veteran professional armorer based in Los Angeles, said that typical practice on a film set would be for the armorer to hand the gun to the actor and that the chain of events described in the affidavit struck him as a “red flag.”

Again you have no idea if he intended to point it at her and pulled the trigger. Why do people keep thinking they know all the details?

So the projectile did not hit what the gun was aimed at? And the gun discharged without the trigger being pulled. OK if you say so.

nope. rad the article. They NEVER point weapons at people, hardware etc. they use movie trickery for this as safety DEMANDS it.

You fuckers who dont know what happened are annoying me.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was huddled around a monitor lining up her next camera shot when she was accidentally killed by the prop gun fired by Baldwin.

The actor was preparing to film a scene in which he pulls a gun out of a holster, according to a source close to the production. Crew members had already shouted “cold gun” on the set. The filmmaking team was lining up its camera angles and had yet to retreat to the video village, an on-set area where the crew gathers to watch filming from a distance via a monitor.

Instead, the B-camera operator was on a dolly with a monitor, checking out the potential shots. Hutchins was also looking at the monitor from over the operator’s shoulder, as was the movie’s director, Joel Souza, who was crouching just behind her.

Baldwin removed the gun from its holster once without incident, but the second time he did so, ammunition flew toward the trio around the monitor. The projectile whizzed by the camera operator but penetrated Hutchins near her shoulder, then continued through to Souza. Hutchins immediately fell to the ground as crew members applied pressure to her wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding

Correct. So obviously something went wrong.

He was pointing the gun at her because she was the cinematographer and they needed a shot of the gun firing directly at the camera. She was behind a perspex shield which would have protected her from a blank but not from a live bullet sadly.

read the article, you are mistaken.

I do not understand why they are trying so hard. Why are they hating Baldwin so much?

[ExpressLane]

You have more than one mouth. So that is why you say so much stupid stuff.

What stupid stuff?

Did Alec or did he not intend to point the prop gun at her and pull the trigger? Yes or no? It's simple.

Yes he pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger or else she would not have been shot.

Alec Baldwin, as stupid, ignorant and celebrity entitled as he is (barring him killing that person with intent)...will remember that the rest of his life - and that person no longer has life.
