Lol. Which famous celebrity is this idiot related to that he keeps getting hired.

Probably more that he gets things under budget by cutting as many corners as possible and doing unethical stuff, so people want to hire him because they only care about the bottom line.

The account by Mr. Souza explained why Mr. Baldwin had been pointing the gun at the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. But it did not answer the question of how a gun that was not supposed to contain live ammunition wound up killing her.

The director, who was wounded in the shooting, told investigators that he had believed that the gun was safe and that it had been described as a “cold gun” in firearm safety announcements. He said that guns on the film’s set were typically checked by the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and then checked again by Dave Halls, the assistant director, who would hand them to the actors.

On film sets, the order of who handles a weapon typically involves a precise sequence, several armorers in the industry said. But actors had been handed guns on the set by both Mr. Halls and Ms. Gutierrez-Reed, according to a producer of “Rust” who asked not to be named because of the ongoing investigation.

On Thursday, after preparing for the scene in a set of a church, Mr. Souza told investigators, there was a lunch break, and the crew was taken by shuttle elsewhere for food. He said that they returned to the set after lunch but that he was “not sure if the firearm was checked again.”

Criminal charges have not been ruled out in the fatal accidental shooting by Alec Baldwin on the Rust film set, the local district attorney handling the case has said in an interview.

Speaking with the New York Times on Tuesday, the Santa Fe county district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, also said it was incorrect to refer to the firearm used in the incident as a “prop gun”, as media reports have.

“It was a legit gun,” Carmack-Altwies told the paper. “It was an antique, era-appropriate gun.”

The prosecutor said an “enormous amount of bullets” had been found on the set and an investigation was needed into the nature of that ammunition.

On the subject of possible charges, she told the Times: “Everything at this point, including criminal charges, is on the table.”

Yeah this is the most logical, every movie gun is a CO2 based air gun that can kick the slide back but no flash/explosion on set. These would be designed to not even take ammunition as it wouldn’t be necessary.

If they have to "investigate the nature of the ammunition" they're probably referring to all the rounds including blanks and stuff. There's probably a poo poo ton of rounds to sort through even before you get to the normal rear end bullets some idiot brought onto the set.

police arrived on scene to find bullets literally everywhere... old timey barrels filled to the brim with bullets, a pair of cowboy boots taken off outside the saloon overflowing with bullets, bricks of ammunition stacked up to create a massive ornamental bullet like walmart stacks soda cases. every door and cupboard they opened comically bursting open and flowing forth with bullets. after some of the commotion had settled down and alec baldwin agreed to speak with them, he sheepishly removed his 10 gallon hat and let out a torrent of cartridges from beneath, showering down around him. rumour is that alec forced the crew to eat bullets from bowls and plates daily to "immerse themselves" in the setting. when offered water to quench the thirst of the officers due to the sweltering desert heat, baldwin produced and poured from a large pitcher of bullets into their cups, profusely apologizing "sorry sirs, it's all we have around set, we're staying in character for when production resumes haha"
