No, if everyone had done their job right before the gun got into his hand, nobody would have been hurt. Neither he nor any other reasonable person in his position should have expected that his actions would create any risk of harm to anyone.
I think there should be an investigation, which I'm sure there is.
OMG. Even eithout charges, he will go down in history as a producer of a deadly film. This will haunt him and so will the loved ones of the victim.
isn't it someones job to make sure of everyones safety on the set?
Whoever gave him a loaded gun, knowing he was going to fire it, is to be blamed.
He killed a person with a prop gun? Yes he should be charged, although it was an accident. Isn't that manslaughter?
Imagine being told that it's a prop gun and you kill someone, thinking it's a fake!!! 😟
But now thinking about it, he shouldn't be charged. He should pay for the expenses of the funeral costs, but overall... it was an accident 😔
@Melaninqueen21 why should he pay for the expenses? Imagine being an actress and this happened to you? What would you even say? He should sue the prop company and the prop company should be paying the expenses.
@kyleelyn199723 He's still responsible, regardless. Yes, it's not exactly his fault and I not only feel bad for the family but for him too. But he's still responsible. He can do whatever he likes, I just hope that both parties will endure during this difficult time for them. And if this happened to me... yes, I'd be devastated and put partial blame on me for firing it, although it wasn't exactly my fault. I would help out as in many ways as possible, that includes funeral costs.
@Melaninqueen21 honestly, he’s not responsible. He was an actor doing his job. There’s many many people that check on the gun before they give it to the actor himself. And helping out is a humane thing to do, but not necessary. I hope Alec sues the hell out of everyone above him in that building. I hope Both sides of each family also sue everyone truly responsible
@kyleelyn199723 an actor doing his job, yes. But he still holds partial accountability for it. I feel terrible for him and of course, I cannot relate to what he's going through. I know he's going through heck. Remember the guy who accidently killed Brandon Lee? He's still suffering from that incident. That's awful. And yes, I hope that both parties will be able to get through this difficult time and that justice is served. I hope the best for both Alec and the victims family.
I agree to disagree. Although she is a victim, he is too and he shouldn’t be shamed for something he had no intentions on doing. But yeah so much suffering for an accidental death. I sure hope it wasn’t someone intentionally trying to kill her but staging it through Alec being the one to pull the trigger. Truly sad.
@kyleelyn199723 and I agree to disagree with you. He shouldn't be the one to blame for her death, but he does hold some accountability for firing it, which in turned, ended her life. I sure hope that no one intentionally wanted to kill her but giving Alec that gun, framing him for her death either. Either way, it's sad.
@melaninqueen21 the scene that he was shooting most likely involved the trigger. I don’t feel like he deserves you be shamed. I’m sure he may come to terms of never making movies again.
@kyleelyn199723 Alec doesn't deserve to be shamed and he shouldn't. I hope he continues to make movies, though. It would be best for him to talk to a therapist after all of this. This will have an impact on his mental and emotional state. Poor guy.
@melaninqueen21 currently reading that he has been supporting the family since the incident. Not sure if therapy could help this one out.
@kyleelyn199723 That's great. I sure hope that therapy will at least help him to come to terms about what had happened and that his sessions will get him through. Just tragic. So unfortunate.
Brandy wasn’t charged and she killed a whole family
@jennifer_Hanmabloom brandy didn't kill a a while family, she killed a woman due to a driving accident. But besides that, she still hold responsibility for that accident. She helped pay for the expenses.
It’s the same thing
@jennifer_Hanmabloom it's actually not
Fill me in! Were there definitely live rounds loaded in the prop gun?
If he wasn’t shooting the movie. Why was he pointing and discharging at those people?
I haven’t heard any particulars.
No. The prop master should be charged for criminal neglegence. It was their job to make sure the gun was loaded with blanks, not live rounds. There's no way Baldwin could have known the prop gun was lethal, this is not liable.
Since he is a pretty stupid liberal , he wouldn't know gun had real ammo. I believe person that gave him the gun wanted the person dead and used him to do it and look like an accident. She should be the one charged.
Accidental or not accidental, he's got to live the rest of his life knowing what was caused by his actions. That would be punishment itself, on top of whether him being charged with the crime and being sentenced for it.
It was a real gun, he should be charged with homicide. It doesn't matter if he intended to or not. It's criminal negligence. Someone died, it's a very serious matter. The law shouldn't't be treating him any differently than anyone else.
He'll get charged with third degree involuntary manslaughter that's how the law works and depending on the judge and how good his lawyers are and if he has any prior convictions his sentence could be lean or harsh
That's how Brandon Lee and Bruce Lee died the same way. Alec's lawyers will have to look into the Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee cases to see how the outcome and causes of that were and how the investigation went pursued to see how the judge ruled to get an idea of how to set Alec's case defense and to get an idea how the judge will rule his case
You also got to ask yourself to what his relationship to the victim was, how long did he know her, did they have an affair, was she cheating on him with another man or woman, was he cheating on his wife with her, was there blackmail involved by his wife or the victim for him to leave the other. The investigators will be looking at all these sort of questions along with digging into alec's past to see if he had any prior affairs with any other women along with her past to see if she had any affairs with guys or actors or guys who were rich
If it was murder which I'm not saying it is but if it was murder a movie set with a loaded prop gun to make it look like an accident would be a good way of covering up a murder to make it look like an accident so there would be no accountability and nothing could get directly traced back to him. The investigators will also be thinking these things too
And as someone else pointed out the investigative team will be checking into alec's background to see if he has any permits or licenses to carry and use a gun and if he purchased any guns and who on the set does ie the props manager and assistant and staff but especially alec himself since he fired the gun. They'll also be looking into his psych evaluation and his psychiatric history to see what they're dealing with along with any of his known contacts and looking into his phone records and call logs and who else he's been in contact with the day and night before the shooting and the day and night of the shooting. They mat also question his wife and close friends and family if he has any to get more information on his background and the type of person he is and to see if the victim has any enemies and question the victims family and close friends as well and checking her phone logs as well
And forensics will do the usual bullet and case analysis along with the projectory and angle of the bullet entering and exiting the body along with the range proximity to how close the victim was to the gun being fired and the type of bullet that was shot and the type of gun that was shot along with the serial numbers if it was a used gun bought legally or illegally same with the bullets if they were bought legally or illegally and who the prior owner/s if any to that gun and who the manufacturer of the gun and bullets are along with make and model number and so on provided the serial numbers are there and it was bought legit and not illegally and to see if Alec and anyone else held a gun permit or license and had any type of gun training as well
No but I do think the person responsible for the prop gun should be prosecuted.
I never liked Alec Baldwin but this does look like an accident. There needs to be a thorough investigation on what happened though.
It's a judge duty to pass a judgment. We are not enough qualified.
For me any person who commits a crime should face justice.
Yes. Leave it to some Hollywood douchebag to completely ignore the first rule of firearms (even prop ones): ALWAYS TREAT IT LIKE IT IS LOADED!
This is crazy.
So far there is no evidence of intention or negligence on his part.
It could be pretty much a set up for him. He is not guilty until proven the opposite.
Interesting take on that
First they need to find out who did put the non prop bullet in the gun before it was handed to him for the scene...
the person who was responsible for the "prop" gun should be held accountable. not the actor who obviously assumed that there was no loaded gun.
I would say they should investigate him but those Hollywood elite are untouchable. Nothing would ever happen to him.
This sounds like a mission on hitman blood money where you replace the prop gun with a real gun, so the actor kills the target.
No I don't. Better system has to be implemented. Every ten years it happens. Brandon Lee some guy from when I was young that was on a western. I'm sure there are others.
Yes. He should be charged. Even if it was an accident, he killed someone.
Even if you're Anti-gun, you should still know and ALWAYS practice gun safety if you're handling firearms.
The person in charge of the prop is the person that inspects and loads it. They either screwed up, did it deliberately or left the gun out of their control which still makes them responsible.
I think it’s the person who loaded the weapon. There should be proper weapons training so accidents like this doesn’t happen. Anytime you receive a weapon you always make sure it is clear.
No it’s not his fault. I feel bad for him and the victim for sure
Yes. Contributory negligence if nothing else. He did not practice adequate gun safety.
No I think the Armour should be charged for giving an actor a loaded weapon.
I think Alec should have went through any form of safety training.
Well if you forget him as a celebrity, it does constitute a third degree murder, but it varies from state to state so maybe yes mayber no.
I'm sure he should be punished somehow.
It was a gun, in his hand, it was his responsibility.
Charged with what? The rounds in the guns are handled by prop and equipment personnel, not the actors.
It’s a total accident, the person that created the prop should be charged with negligence if anything
I'll have to hear more about the gun and how he was handling it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he bears responsibility through carelessness
He won't but someone who works in the props department is going to prison for negligence and manslaughter i'd imagine
I don’t think so. Like you said, it was a freak accident. Either way it’s horrific, especially regarding the deceased.
Someone set him up! There shouldn’t have been a bullet in there
And this guy made fun of Trump. Look at the idiot now.
Yep. Careless use of a firearm, case closed
Doesn’t matter who checked it, check it yourself
Not so much the act. But they should investigate why the hell half the camera crew walked off set days before because of safety concerns.
it wasn't a prop gun it was a real gun. and he was fooling around with it. so yes he should have known
Guns don't kill people.
Alec Baldwin kills people.
I can't wait to see the SNL skit.
Baldwin can play himself shooting someone.
You can only charge Baldwin if he had Mens Rea or Criminal Intent. There was none in this case.
Why would you want to punish a man who is probably very traumatised over this accident.
I don't want to accuse him of anything but he as an actor no longer had weapons training? those who are trained in firearms know that they always have to check and recheck
No but he was an idiot for pointing a gun at another person and firing it, which is what he did.
@Wise4myage just saying, it was probably an act they were acting out.
@kyleelyn199723 She's a cinematographer, not an actor. So why would anyone be pointing a gun at her in the first place?
@Wise4myage because she was behind a camera and he was pointing the gun during the scene. It’s 100% not his fault
@kyleelyn199723 Thanks, I wasn't blaming him.
If anyone has to be held accountable it's the prop guy.
So was it a real bullet that wasn't taken out or did the fake bullet kill the person?
No - he had no idea the gun was loaded and had been told it was not.
Hell no. It's a prop gun. If anyone should be charged it's the person in charge of the gun.
How am I supposed to answer? I haven't seen his statement to the police.
Somebody, fucked up. Sounds like what happened to Brandon Lee.
Blank ammo can kill too. Jon Eric Hexum put a prop gun to his temple and killed himself with a blank round.
Yes. He. Should. Also he foreshadowed this incident
God will take care of him, don't worry.
Nope, It was a accident
Only if he knew it was loaded with live rounds.
Someone set him up! so no.
If anything the girls family will have to pay him.
He was handed the gun end of story
Yes, he still killed her. Accident or not
they should shoot a prop gun at him as revenge.
