Alec Baldwin what the fuck

Okay, the more I think about it, the fishier things get. 1 discharge could totally be an accident. 4? That sounds like somebody is intentionally loading live rounds after the weapons have been supposedly checked…
The story that live ammo had been accidentally discharged on set "several times", to the point that crew members were walking over it, beggars belief. If it's true, then something is insane.
Education is extremely important.

And they kept filming? With real guns? At this point, Baldwin does become culpable as the producer for not pausing production after the second incident…

I hate to say it, but this sounds suspiciously like 'people making shit up'.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Nowhere in the story was there any claim about live fire incidents causing a walkout. But there was mention of union workers having walked over money and housing issues, then being replaced by non-union workers. Hmm, I wonder who made up the story about lots of live fire incidents before the accidental shooting?

The NYP article sounds a lot closer to the truth. Most likely a single shot, with a pass-through hitting the second person.
Just as a SWAG, chances are the revolver is a SAA Colt, most likely a .45LC., although it could be a 38-40 or 44-40.
There are multiple reports the gun was used for plinking and target practice, while not filming. That's a red -rocket no-no. Civil liability is a given and the only question is whether the armorer will face criminal charges.

If someone handed me a gun and told me it was "cold", meaning there was no "live" ammo in it, I personally would check it myself to verify that.
And if I was not capable of doing that, I would have no business handling a firearm. Period.
Just sayin'...

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. -

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Dribs and drabs of information (accurate?) but one of the things that has surfaced is that some of people were allegedly doing some target shooting while they were out in the middle of nowhere. If true, that would explain why a gun with life ammo might have been present. If that is the case, these folks have not learned my family's motto of "when doing something stupid, be smart about it" - which is to say that if you're stupid enough to have a weapon with live ammo on a movie set, then remove ammo, and lock both weapon and ammo up - and if possible, put the locked box in the trunk of one's car.
