Alec Baldwin just shot and KILLED a woman on a movie set

Does this story make any sense at all? It makes no sense. What the hell really happened?

He was probably either clowning around or had a scene where he aimed the gun at the camera.

mr liberal gun control guy cant practice what he preaches all over about all the gun control and all the liberal stuff canceling the second amendment and those who practice it

So you are implying that actors should check all the props they are given to use? Or that they should boycott films where guns are used??

You should try logic sometime.

You made an excellent, thoughtful point about ‘all the liberal stuff and all the the other stuff’. I’ll burn my red card immediately and join your side!

Unrelated but I met Alec Baldwin a while back. Him, Peirce Brosnan, and Robin Williams. By met I only mean I said hello and was in the vcinity of them for a short while but if one thing stood out it's that Alec Baldwin seemed like a massive douche. Like you expect it out of celebrities but he was on a whole other level. The other two were fine though. All of the woman that showed up (it was a celebrity event thing) complained how bad Alec and Peirce look in real life lol

This is just dumb

A real story, at least if you believe the Washington Post:

Wow! Tragic. Very sad.

This has happened before. Brandon Lee was shot and killed in similar on set accident. Also Jon-Erik Hexum in the 80s accidentally killed himself with a prop gun.

Apparently it was a prop gun and was an accident.

How in the heck does a "prop gun" kill someone?

apparently blanks fired at very close range can do enough damage to be fatal but you have to be very unlucky. the fact that it hit two people must mean it was a live round, which means that someone in props f-ed up BIG time. absolutely bonkers story.

Because it may be a real gun.

Prop guns often are real guns.

Typically they are loaded with either squibs (bullet and no powder) or blanks (powder with no bullet).

The combo is what Killed Brandon Lee. A squib was fired which put the bullet in the barrel ( the primer has enough pop to move the bullet a bit), the. A later blank forced the bullet out at full velocity.

*then later a blank was fired which forced the bullet out at full velocity

(Apologies for the typo)

Holes in this story.

How can a prop gun kill someone?

How is it he shot not one but two people?

Makes no sense.

Yes it's very strange. Someone has some explaining to do.

The irony is how liberal Hollywood preaches anti gun yet their movies are filled with gun violence. Guns used safely to hunt and protect oneself are appropriate. However they rarely portray this responsible use of them. Looks like Baldwin’s chickens have come home too roost.
