"I don't think there are words to communicate the situation," he shared. "I am not going to be able to comment about the facts or the process of what we're going through right now, but I appreciate that everyone has been very sympathetic. I don't think there are words to communicate the situation."
I am starting to understand why CA has problems with firearms.
Especially the Hollywood types.
Their mistake is thinking that they are smarter than others.
Many of us have had guns since we were kids.
No one has dide.
No one will dide.
Unless they should dide.
Then, there is a good chance that person will dide.
Then, Hollywood types will cride.
It's plausible that "because of covid" they cut back on the staff on the set - or just ignored protocol.
It's plausible that someone was doing a little target shooting out there or somehwere else.
It's plausible that Baldwin is used to having a pro hand him the props assuming it was all checked out.
It's plausible that none of that happened and he got handed a hot load.
Anything is plausible when people do not take responsibility for their own actions.
I'd put money that Alec was screwing around like Jon-Erik Hexum.
Quote:
One of the scenes filmed that day called for Hexum's character to load bullets into a .44 Magnum handgun, so he was provided with a functional gun and blanks. When the scene did not play as the director wanted it to in the master shot, there was a delay in filming. Hexum became restless and impatient during the delay and began playing around to lighten the mood. He had unloaded all but one (blank) round, spun it, and***8212;simulating Russian roulette***8212;he put the revolver to his right temple and pulled the trigger
Jon was killed by the concussion from the blank.
Alec was just trying to lighten the mood by waving a loaded gun around at the director.
