well the net is aflame with things today, and more "information" is coming out, though still nothing OFFICIAL.
Among things I read this morning are
There were two (2) accidental "discharges" of "prop guns" in the week prior to the shooting.
The gun was handed to Baldwin by an associate producer (not the prop guy) and who told Baldwin "cold gun".
The woman was shot in the stomach
The woman was shot in the chest, and the guy was standing behind her, was wounded in the shoulder.
The scene to be filmed involved Baldwin shooting someone
This happened on the set but not during filming
Working conditions and safety was so bad union people walked off the set.
The production company refused to spend a nickel it didn't have to on safety
and so on, and so on....
Some of this might be true, some might not be...again, nothing official, YET.
One thing that does bug me, a personal thing, but since I am so firearm detail oriented, I cannot understand why they have not yet said what the gun was. I do not understand WHY they are withholding this information.
If it had been a car accident, the make and model of the car would be known and already released. This is not something it takes an investigation to discover. I can see not stating what was actually fired, yet, that would require an investigation, to determine for certain what it was, live round, or something else like the tragic combination of factors involved in the Brandon Lee shooting. But not stating what the gun was, just seems foolish, to me. I mean, its not as if they don't KNOW, right??
oh well, more "theatre" as time goes on, I'm sure. CYA is in full bloom here as well...
