Actor Alec Baldwin fired prop gun on set of ‘Rust’ that killed cinematographer

[White 6]

Yeah, they are REAL guns.

Some are modified to fire blanks, especially automatics that may need the gasses supressed to cycle eject and load at lower gas pressure or recoil strength, but all are still dangerous. They have killed actors from time to time. First I remember was Pete Duel, starring on the set of Alias Smith and Jones, all the way back in 1971, clowning around pointing his prop .46 six-shooter at his own head and the blank killed him.

Seriously, how the heck did this happen? A prop gun?

Authorities have confirmed that actor Alec Baldwin fired the prop gun on the set of his film “Rust” that killed director of photography Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.​

Earlier, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said a 42-year-old woman was airlifted to a hospital after being shot by a prop gun, where she died. A man who was shot was getting emergency care at another hospital, according to the Associated Press.​

​

Local news station KOB4 later reported that the sheriff’s office confirmed Baldwin had been the one to fire the prop gun.​

Sort of. Criminally negligent homicide is a minimum that I can think of.

Murder requires intent.

Baldwin is a producer on the movie...this falls into his responsibility........

Murder requires intent.

No, actually, that depends on the jury.......the cop who shot the guy in his apartment, thinking she was in her own apartment, was convicted of murder...without being able to show why she "murdered" him other than it being an accident.....

No, the statutes for pretty much every State I can think of stipulate that murder requires forthought, and intent. "Malice aforethought" is the term they use.

If he was reckless then they can charge him with Manslaughter.

I was just pointing out the other shooting.....candycorn keeps bringing it up but still can't explain the "intent," behind the officer "murdering," the guy in his apartment......she stated she got off on the wrong floor and thought it was her apartment when she encountered the guy......without any other underlying "intent," this should have been a manslaughter case at the worst.....but they convicted her of murder....

At most, they should have given her manslaughter, if that........but they gave her murder instead...likely because she was a police officer, and he was a black guy....

No motive for "murder," was ever presented by the prosecution..

But in tearful testimony last week, Guyger said she was "scared to death" when she opened what she thought was her own apartment door and saw the silhouette of a man she mistook for an intruder.

"I was scared whoever was inside my apartment was going to kill me," she told the jury. "No police officer would want to hurt an innocent person."

Guyger lived on the third floor of an apartment complex just south of downtown Dallas. Her lawyers said she was in uniform and had just finished a 13-hour workday on Sept. 6th, 2018, when she mistakenly opened Jean's door.

"What was going through Amber's mind was just, 'I'm going home,' " defense lawyer Robert Rogers said. " 'I'm exhausted, and I'm going home.' "

Guyger testified that she had put her key in the door and realized it was unlocked. Thinking someone had broken in, she drew her gun and entered the apartment.

Guyger said she ordered Jean, "Let me see your hands," and that he instead started to move toward her. Prosecutors countered that nobody in the apartment complex heard her instruct Jean to raise his hands.

Within seconds of opening the door, she fired two shots at Jean. One of the bullets struck him in the chest, killing him.

Guyger called 911 and told the operator over and over: "I thought it was my apartment."
------
Under Texas law, convicting a defendant of murder requires proving someone intentionally killed another person, as opposed to manslaughter, in which prosecutors have to show someone was killed because of recklessness.

Ex-Dallas Officer Who Killed Man In His Own Apartment Is Found Guilty Of Murder

Amber Guyger, who is white, had testified that she entered Botham Jean's unit after a long day at work, thinking it was her own home and mistaking the 26-year-old black accountant for an intruder.

www.npr.org

There was no evidence of an intentional act on the part of the officer........no previous relationship with the guy, no reason she would have simply shot him to kill him...yet they still convicted her of murder....

Are you an expert in prop guns and squibs? I doubt there will be any charges.

 

[2aguy]

He may have some responsibility as a producer on the film, but the prop master is the one directly responsible for that weapon ..........

 

[harmonica]

He isn't trump and it wasn't on 5th Avenue. Depends on the investigation and circumstance. Prop man probably getting a good going over.

Mr Trump never did anything wrong

 

[harmonica]

.......same thing happened during police training--link below
lack of discipline--lack of standard policies....idiocy
...always check and fire the weapon into the safe area...should be triple checked by 3 different people ..that should be the policy
..we were always taught to physically place fingers into the chamber to check weapons for rounds in the chamber .....
..I was in the USMC for 8 years--as you know, MANY times on the ranges and no deaths--only 1 ''accidental''' discharge ......dozens of Marines firing hundreds of rounds--but humans make mistakes--mistakes always happen

But this was made for comedy in our jaded culture. SNL can do many skits with Baldwin at bars, day care centers, Epstein's Island, and other places with a prop gun shooting people. Their politics have gotten in the way of great comedy with Prog politicians and others that are zealots for their cause.
