This is a perfect example of why you lawyer up the second the police want to speak to you about a crime you did or didn't commit. Speaking to the police does absolutely nothing to help you but can ruin your entire life wit one slip of the tongue.
Yep. The police are NOT your friend, they'll make you think they are but don't fall for it. The only thing they're trying to do is get you charged with a crime.
Young people need to hear that. Just button your lip and sit in jail, because they'll say they'll let you go home if you confess, we already know you did it, blah blah blah... Zip it.
AMEN. Never speak a word and give them ammunition to destroy your life and NEVER CALL THEM. LIFE DESTROYERS.
@@oxygen69able eesh criminal record detected
shocking that baldwin's reps didnt demand he only speak to the cops with an atty present
The guest Steve brought up the key point here. This was a rehearsal only. Not a filmed scene. The gun should have been 100% empty
Incorrect. During rehearsals you will still use blanks in the weapon as to get use to the handling of a weapon that still goes boom as to be comfortable with the action
@rAging Gamer what movie sets have you worked on?
@@raginggamer2109 You just make stuff up as you go along??
That bullet was probably there originally and everyone thought it was empty
I mean when you bring in guns to the armourer who checks if there are bullets already loaded? I'm assuming everyone just thinks they're empty
Sad accident through negligence. I feel bad for all. But how a gun isn't thoroughly checked and rechecked for bullets before it's put into an actors hand is beyond me.
There are NO accidents, only F ups!!!!
Their are protocols put in place. Would need to screw up five times or more before someone is killed. Someone or a few people need to pay for this.
@@gzdPr I agree with you.
@@scottbaseball8046 👍😁
If you have any gun in your hands, even if you were told that it was empty by one or more people, and you pull the trigger and anyone is hurt or killed, since you were handling the gun at the time, you are responsible for any injuries and/or deaths.
Bruce Lee's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell, did so much hard work to get those laws put in place. After her son, Brandon Lees death in the movie the Crow. He was accidentally shot in a scene by a set gun, and it ended to be a fatal wound. She used all her resources and their legacy to enforce these laws so things like this would not happen. Hard to believe it was an accident.
Probably was an accident, just terrible negligence. And they should have hired a well ecperienced handler. Nepotism takes priority in hollywood
There are no accidents. That's the mantra of any responsible safety program. The exceptions to that statement, while they do exist, are actually very rare, and should never, ever, be exploited as an excuse for reckless irresponsibility.
Multiple failures led to this woman's death, and it started long before they ever set foot on a set. Baldwin is responsible on every level, from the production planning, to the set planning, to the set organization, to the moment he held the weapon in his hands, and everything in between. Of course, since he is truly a narcissist, he will avoid and deflect any blame or responsibility in every way. He does not care for that person he shot, but only for himself. He should absolutely be charged with negligent homicide, at least.
@@barbarakauppi9915 I just meant was an accident as in not a pre-planned murder, but I get your point
@@ltisenotem I believe the prosecutor said charges will be officially charged by the first, once they are we will get the charging documents, those should tell us a whole lot more
@@barbarakauppi9915 Alec Baldwin will never understand why it is that only unloaded guns kill people.
I will tell you exactly where the live rounds came from.
Hannah G!
Listen to her multiple interviews. She admits to wearing the same jacket and pants to all her sets because she can put the different bullets in different pockets. She also said she uses those pants for target practice
She mixed bullets! She has them in her pockets then mixed what was previously in her pocket
The armorer was flippant immature and gets no out here.
I agree there shouldn't be any live rounds around the area after all they weren't out shooting they were playing make believe
Jerry Miculek shows us all how to separate ammo from weapons.
And she's being charged. But it is up to each person handling a firearm to ensure that it is safe. These are good charges.
Apparently just an hour before they started filming they were shooting at cans and bottles with that same gun with live rounds there should never been any live rounds on the set in the first place
Totally agree.
She got the job through nepotism and the armourer totally is responsible.
IT ABSOLUTELY MATTERS HOW THOSE LIVE ROUNDS GOT INTO THE CHAMBER!
Yes, it does.
Thank you for telling us.
That is what I want to know. How did that live round get into that gun.
@@paolobianchi8513 He is exclaiming that because the smarmy bald guy said it wasn't of much concern... pay attention.
@@matthewhall9692 Of course it matters, regardless of what anyone says.
He was a producer in charge of the production set. Staffers heaped complaints about reckless use of guns, target shoot outs, unsafe workplace prior and were unheeded. They quit because they were ignored. This abject negligence is fully in Baldwins court.
In one of her police interviews she claimed she shook the *box* of rounds, didn't shake each individual round. She also called various parts of a gun the "thingy". Constantly stoned. A clusterf**k with a tragic result. Now we have to hear about the ugly legal aftermath between her and AB. Sad.
The armorer is charged the same as Baldwin? Shouldn't the armorer get prison time?her job is to literally keep the guns safe ,didn't she check the gun before handing it off,, I can't even grab a role of tape or clipboard at work without signing a form for it with the inventory clerk
The person who fired the gun is the worst one…its basic gun safety to check a gun yourself and no rely on others.. maybe alec should of took a gun safety class first…
The charges are the same simply because that the crime being investigated.
Baldwin is unlikely to be convicted.
She will be convicted.
I believe Alec is a producer, so maybe in that role, he is legally responsible. I do not believe he knew there was any live rounds in that prop gun.
Roll.
@@kalamazooracing Should have taken.
They had LIVE ROUNDS on the set.
Real bullets.
No excuse for anybody on the movie set.
Jail them all.
Baldwin had nothing to do with that
Load your own gun. Moran
I heard that after hours they were using live rounds to shoot bottles and cans. so, yeah they're all guilty for mixing business with pleasure like that.
@@__ZANE__ you mean the armorer is more guilty. It was on her to keep track of all that
@@nosuchthing8 ...i don't think it's ethical to be taking part in shooting real bullets after hours on the set. so, even if the armorer enabled the after hours shooting , anyone who took part in that after hours activity is guilty. similarly if a company allowed employees to do have illegal fighting on premises after hours, and someone was hurt, all the ones who took part in the fighting would be just as guilty as the company for allowing it.
The most surprising thing to me about this incident is that they use real guns on movie sets. it's not as if it's physically impossible to make realistic prop guns and bullets that never mingle with the real thing, and certainly someone is willing to make and sell them. So why do they use real guns?
Exactly! Zero need for such liability. My brother has a 'prop gun' that looks and feels real, but cannot function as a gun. One can probably replicate muzzle flash with a cell phone app, let alone a Hollywood studio.
It's been industry standard for many years that real guns are used and blanks are used inside a gun. Look at the John wick movies all real guns and all loaded with blanks. No deaths from that set yet. This could change the industry but as of now the practice won't change because this is a pure case of negligence
@@Solderpro_1 time for a new standard. Safety.
I used to do live western stunt shows weekly.
Rule #1: NO LIVE ROUNDS ON SET.
#2: One person on-site weapons handler.
Every person handling a gun is given each blank by the armorer/loader to load in the supervision of the armorer.
All actors are responsible for checking their own weapons.
Armorer to be on site at all times.
Prior to shooting the “discharge” scene all actors are required to recheck all weapons on set and announce “Weapon dry, safety off”
You were working with trained actors who understood how to check those weapons.
On film sets, you may have 50 ex-military guys as extras using flintlock rifles for the first time in their lives working alongside speaking actors who have never picked up a gun.
I've worked with guns on a number of sets and for this reason, there is usually a rule that actors should NOT check guns. In fact, they'd get in serious trouble or fired if they started opening guns and checking bullets.
So once the expert has loaded them why would you want actors opening and "checking" them?
It is considered far too dangerous as you are inviting all sorts of unseen problems if actors open and check guns without supervision. So they are loaded by the expert and then handed extras/actors just before action.
This is standard on film sets and if leading actors want to double check the expert will show them they have blanks and how to tell but there isn't time to do this with 50 or 100 extras as we had n "Mary Queen of Scots" firing flintlocks for example.
I'm not saying you are wrong but your job was different than extras/actors without experience arriving at 5am to film a scene that day.
Very important is also the fact that if actors can open guns what is the stop a disgruntled actor from swapping out rounds. The armourer needs to be the only one from loading to firing that has access to put in rounds.
Sorry to waffle.
Nothing Really Matters,
Why? The person/actor pulling trigger is ultimately responsible for what comes out. Didn’t you read the rules? Oh did I forget to mention I was the safety coordinator and never had an “accident”.
Thank you for that.
@@Username-2 Actors do not pay set personnel… Producers do.
If you are the Producer and actor pulling trigger, you are responsible for all actions surrounding an ON SET DEATH.
Having worked in all areas of set production including credits as an actor and stunt coordinator, I’d bet my life on my on-set practices.
@@Username-2 the fact that I retired without killing anyone is proof in itself.
Thank you
How is the person who handed him the gun not charged?
He was….he has already taken a plea deal for no jail time & 6 months probation.
I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned
he was and plead out already.
@@thurin84 👍🏾
I think he mentions it at 2:07 lol i heard it as i was reading this comment unless thats someone else
Yeah. He was charged and settled his case. Hollywood Douchebags like Baldwin will milk this whole thing to get publicity, then he’ll make a plea deal and get a slap on the wrist.
Live ammo simply has no business being anywhere near a film set.
Why do we have functioning real guns on set? Use a prop gun made of plastic.
When I was a child and my father was teaching me how to use weapons for hunting the first thing he taught me is treat every weapon as if it was loaded which means you don’t point them at another human even if there were professional working with the actor he should have had the sense to check the gun him self he’s the one that was handling it
Hate hunters 🤬Cruel animal killers !!
You are comparing a hunting situation with a movie set. Those are completely different scenarios. There are sets where actors are not even allowed to check the guns, there are hired people to do that.
@@lifeinyellow so if I hand u a gun your just gona believe me that it’s not loaded that plan ignorant especially if you have you point it at another human
@MrFair just relax. What Karina said was factually correct. There are plenty of movie sets where the actor is not allowed to check the gun. For safety reasons, sometimes it's the responsiblity of the amorer and only the armorer
Okay, to point them at poor animals, though !!! ANIMALS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE !!! PEOPLE ARE VILE .
Thanks for all your hard work. I know it can't be easy updating all us us in a 23 min video.
This is one of those stories where you wish you could turn back the clock and make it right. From what I read Halyna was well liked by everyone and had a wonderful smile. So sad.
@@alphamanga3213
I think so murder
I think he had some kinda strife with that chik he killed on the set. It’s nearly impossible to carefully point aim and shoot a gun like that and not notice the round in the chamber. Not to mention he had tweeted around 2017 that “he wondered what it felt like to wrongfully kill somebody”
_"Halyna was well liked by everyone and had a wonderful smile"_ and that's why ALec Baldwin shouldn't have shot her
- Thomas Wolk
@@KronStarodidn’t she tell Baldwin to point the gun at her.. seems like she was negligent as well
It's sad that a simple comment I made brings out people who have mental problems or like being nasty.
Why were there any live rounds on set, aren't they all empty guns or with a fake bullet in? Whoever also put that real bullet in the gun is also guilty. There were also no Health & Safety checks before handing a gun, cold or hot! May Halyna find peace wherever she is and may she rest in peace 🙏🏻
That's why the armorer was charged. It was her responsibility to ensure the safety of the rounds. In my opinion everyone on set is responsible for the safe use of firearms and Baldwin should be charged as well, as he has been. He was the trigger man and that matters.
@@abebuckingham8198 Agree 100%
Wernt they shooting bottles n sheeet between takes? There shouldnt be ANY live rounds on a film set, the armourer is accountable.
Even if you use blanks, if you shoot too close, it can still cause very serious harm
He should not be pointing a gun at her
Growing up in the country and hunting all the time I was taught to always act like the gun is loaded and never point it towards anyone at anytime. Safety is always first. Even when bird hunting and having multiple people on either side of you, Im always aware of where those people are and I carry my gun according to my surroundings
Its different on a movie set but i think he would be charged with negligence he wouldnt get the full manslaughter that is what the armorers job is but he hired her and created the situation
Movies, including good ones, have scenes where a gunman points towards the camera.
@@archaeologistify not when the cameraman is standing behind it. One of the safety protocols hollywood uses is to never point a gun at anyone. Baldwin even acknowledged this rule himself in interviews.
Exactly Andrew
But, cosmetic rounds look identical to live rounds. That's why live rounds are not allowed on any movie set.
This guest speaker is 100% SPOT ON. Been saying this from the get go.
The ammo supplier was cleared because before this went all the way down (the interview) a set person said this gun went out to a live fire range and they were allowed to do that even though it was against the rules.
Baldwin was a producer...he should have endorsed the rules. Furthermore, whether a producer or not, he should have ck'd the gun!
This is confusing
@@Cannamom710 It’s really not…
Hannah, the armorer , simply mixed up live rounds with movie prop rounds.
She was shooting real guns with real rounds in her spare time..
She’s a disorganized mess.
Why is everything on a movie set a prop, except the guns?
The same thing happened with Brandon Lee. He was accidently shot and died on set of the Crow. What happened to the person who shot him with a 'Prop' gun?
Steve really knows his stuff! Was great to listen to
Notice he says "Joel" but then says "that woman's body".
Alec does not name Halena.
interesting....
He knew Joel from a previous movie and was talking with him about the film for years. He only met Halena when the shoot started. I wouldn’t read in to this.
I noticed that also! ; "F-ing douchy AND suspicious", saying that, I think.
Alec hasn't really showed "good judgment", (talking to the police without a lawyer present, etc); during this whole tragic event.
RIP Haelena 💔
@@bigjimmy428 Well, then, you are sadly mistaken.
Always look for the little things.
By saying "that woman" he is dehumanizing and divorcing himself from any responsibility. She is now collateral to him not a human being whom he says was his friend.
I haven't followed this case closely but have the investigators found the suspect who put a bullet into a prop gun? That should be the main worry for everyone in that set!
they had been using the gun off set with live rounds as i guess to use it acause was old gun and everything, and armourer failed to check each bullet and maybe hoped he did this to someone.
Someone was not doing their job on set related to safety of all people involved inside the gun range area. The investigators/police found more live rounds mixed in with blank ammunition. That shouldn't be.
The Sheriff's Dept. has proven Baldwin is guilty of murder.
Me 2 I find this hard to believe he would do it surely some one put that there to frame him a man off many movies 🎥 he's been framed
Yes!!!
This was a tragic accident!! As a Producer you hire many many people to do their job as a sub contractor and Alec would never think they would be a live round on a set!!!!!
Doesn’t matter…. He chose to use real Firearms in his movie.
Their are specific & strict rules that must always always always be followed when handling a “ Real Gun”
It’s ultimately his responsibility as he is the one who pointed a real gun at another human being & pulled the trigger
There are NO accidents, only F ups!!!!
There are rules and guidelines put in place to prevent these from happening
Imagine.. For a moment.. That EVERY person that was ever handed a weapon and EACH person self verified the contents of a firearm... There would be no negligent discharges EVER. Why on earth would you rely on someone else just saying "you're good". That is why it is always a two person verify when exchanging a weapon.
Not only that. But he is a producer. AND he was taught basic gun handling which he himself verified he was taught in. He is not solely to blame. However he should not be exempt from guilt or prosecution.
I'm sure everyone on set feels the pain of this incident. It has to be hard to live with on it's own. I feel bad for everyone involved and their families.
Good to hear the prosecutor consulted with other armorers.
prayers still out for the victims family
If he never did that interview and said he didn’t pull the trigger then his argument about “how did the bullet get there” would’ve been a lot stronger
" I was the one who shot that gun" he said & later denied it, on TV 🤦🏻♀️
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I triple check if the doors are locked before bed. Even if I just checked 5 minutes ago, sometimes I just insist on one last check to feel safe. The same should occur for gun handling. Double and triple check. And don't listen to others who "checked for you". Check again yourself. It's not about lack of trust, but safety. Humans make mistakes, so try to correct them before something bad occurs
It was supposed to be loaded, so why check it? An actor doesn't know a blank from a live round. So what point would it make to unload it? That's the stage experts job. She probably handed it to him half cocked.
LOL we will find out the truth whose fault it is I think you guys are wrong as favoritism towards the woman and as sexist you have stage technicians that should have been checking those products not him
What if you are shooting a movie and your movie wife says according to script the doors are locked and it's not in the script for you to check. Do you still check?
@@masonkanterbury3007 It was a rehearsal...no need for it to be loaded. And "she" didn't hand him anything because she wasn't there.
@@wanaraz yes always
If this kind of thing doesn't happen on a John wick movie set it shouldn't happen anywhere else
He was being careless however his reaction of devastation seems sincere. This is so unfortunate. Since the movie "The Crow" everyone should be on high alert. The person who gave him the gun should be held responsible too.
I suspect that this gun was ALSO used to target practice in the evenings. A live bullet was likely left in the chamber . A lack of safety protocol, plus a lack of gun safety caused this tragic death & near death.
Because of Alec's attitude following the tragedy, it could mean that he is punished more severely. He was cold hearted, dismissive and on the defense from the get go! His interviews following did him no favours, he is his own worst enemy!!
I wonder if he's regretting the interviews he gave ...
that's a bs lie. dude was basically crying and came in for questioning without a lawyer as well which you should always have one. He was devastated to find out what happened to the lady.
Probably thinks he's untouchable coz he's a big star. Not in touch with reality.
@@TheRealSpenco he did an interview saying he didn’t unalive her.
@@TheRealSpenco exactly !!!
But shouldn’t the prop master be investigated cause how is the actor supposed to know a prop gun was real and have live ammo in it.
One witness admitted that they were plinking targets using live ammunition with the "stunt guns" off set on their breaks. Manslaughter will be a slam dunk if the prosecuting lawyers know their jobs.
Hall handed him the gun? And told him it was "cold"? And Hall was involved in a similar incident previously. Why was he not charged also?
Apparently he was I read under another comment, under a plea deal. He got 6 months probation or something but don't quote me. You could probably look it up.
There's no way live rounds even need to be on set to begin with. How did the live rounds make it into the gun on set?
Steve you rock....ya really know what you are talking about..I have worked on set a few times and yes Steve protocol with rounds and weapons on set is alot tighter then it was on this set...RIP Halyna...
Educational. Ty
I bet he doesn't serve a day in jail.
That’s exactly what I just said to my husband.
@@Melissa-JC 5 years
@@2facesofevil835 That might be the maximum time he's facing, but, I guarantee you, he'll get off one way or the other.
@@marvalousmarva6190 probably with a plea deal yes .
He shouldn't. It was her job to ensure there were blanks in the gun.
The only way for that gun to fire without pulling the trigger is if Baldwin was holding the trigger down while cocking the hammer.
He said he was practicing quick drawing
While I was in the Air Force Security Police we were forbidden from playing with our firearms, one airman did and shot his own leg, the Air Force found him guilty and he had to pay the Air Force back for the medical care he received and spent time in the brig!! You never play with guns period!!!
16:45 did he really just say "it doesn't matter how live rounds got on the set" he's absolutely absurd.
Right! It absolutely matters how the live round made it to the set! If it hadn't made it onto the set, this terrible accident wouldn't have happened & Halyna would still be alive 😐🤦🏾♀️
Going to be interesting to follow
Why was there a loaded gun on a movie set. I thought they only used blanks. Alec's job is to act not test guns. The person who handed him a loaded gun should be held accountable for this. So sad all the way around. Smh may she RIP
This is just a sad tragedy
He disregarded safety protocols of checking the weapon before firing it. He is also negligent.
Sorry but if someone tells you that a gun is unloaded and they've checked it 3 times and they hand it to you and say to dry fire it at someone and it discharges killing them, I'm going to tell you serena, you're going to jail. I'm sorry, but us guntubers and gun enthusiasts are absolutely disgusted with what has happened because it is so easy to avoid a situation like this. These hollywood big wigs often open their mouths about big scary guns because they are either paid to or they are truly scared of them. Well, this man has f'd up big time and just like any of us little people, he must face justice.
I agree 💯 percent with you his job is to act not test guns ... I'm sure he feels aweful about what happened anyway and now this ..
Incorrect.
Is every person's responsibility, if they're handling a gun, to handle it with basic gun safety in mind.
You never offload that responsibility onto another person.
You never point a real gun at another living thing unless you intend to kill it.
Even if a Hollywood armorer tells you it's safe.
I'm glad her husband finally came his senses to charge Alec!!! Finally..while Alec's been living his best life with his family like nothing?🙄
The husband sued and settled. He can't file charges. The authorities make that decision.
@@02biddle it's too bad he settled the suit. After all this he could have won a lot more money. Especially, if Alec is found guilty or takes a plea where he must admit to wrongdoing.
@@privard89 We'll never know how much he got but part of the settlement was that they would finish the movie and the husband would be a producer. That's what I've heard but that seems really weird to me.
@@02biddle that’s odd…
Great job
I always think,Why are there live rounds on the movie set in the first place?
Interesting to hear the ammo supplier sent combination boxes.
Thank you Steve for saying ultimately it doesn't really matter if it is ever determined how those live rounds got on set, the point is there are safety protocols in place that had they been followed by Hanna ,Alec & Dave , Halyna and Joel would not have been shot ..Just speculating here but seems like Hannah was more focused on taking selfies posing with guns and trying to look "cool "
and posting them online than doing her job
I agree
Precisely.
Sickening 🤮
Did you watch her interrogation? It’s horrifying.
But it's still not his fault he's not the director the director should take the fall for it he was a actor smarty pants know what it is is a sexist thing and it's a favoritism to the females which always got the hands in some Man's Pocket
Finally some justice for the victims
Love your channel you guys, keep up the GREAT work, how many actors check the gun they are shooting in a movie? I'm guessing very few, Mr. Halls sounds a little fishy to me and according to other people on the set, Mr. Halls is a questionable character
Brandon Lee was shot also on the set of the Movie...The Crow
A pity for this whole situation, but the reality is that this woman should be alive and someone has to pay for that mistake.
That's not actually true. Both criminal and civil law have situations where nobody is at fault but a tragedy happens. Take for example a child running out from behind a stationary car in to the path of traffic. The driver is following the speed limit, has no time to react and is therefore faultless. He has done nothing wrong. He bears no fault. A child would not be at fault as they have a diminished capacity to reason and so would not forsee the consequences of their actions. Edit- my comments have drawn a lot of negative responses, people telling me I'm wrong or this case is different. Why don't those ignorant people offer a reasoned argument why my example is wrong? My example is a well known precedent illustrating " faultlessness" in English Common law, which The American system is based upon. My comments were in response to someone who said " someone has to pay ", which is not true. The more subtle aspects if this incident involving Alec Baldwin or the precise requirements of the law I have not comment upon. Some are conflating the two. If anyone wishes to criticise my initial comments how about offering a reasoned argument? This seems absent so far. 😕
@@hunterluxton5976 that is a completely different scenario. This could and should not have happened.
I couldn't agree more.
@@hunterluxton5976 Wrong, he is an adult with little to no knowledge of guns and therefore should never handle them, he is the ultimate safety in this situation and failed. He is only sorry cause he is in trouble.
@@hunterluxton5976 i see you don't understand firearms safety
I hope the judge on his case has the balls to give him the maximum.
Alec has done this exact thing in many other films.. the only difference with those films and this one is that those armorers did their job.. the one responsible for Rust did not. Filmmakers wouldn't hire armorers if gun saftey was the actors responsibility. They'd cut the middle man completely and save money. Granted Alec lied about pulling the trigger but that doesn't change anything. People are getting distracted from what actually happened. Unbelievable
But Alec was producer and hired her.. He is a pro with decades of experience.. In the end he is responsible for everything on set..
@@TheRealJohnHooper But ultimately its on her to do her job. Just because he hired someone who lied about their abilities doesnt 'make him liable for her incompetence. Also it was checked by another person before he held it. That's two checks that were wrong.
Would you say the same if it was your mother , wife or sister that was shot and killed because of negligence 🤔
@@TheRealJohnHooper I didn't realize that Alec was one of the producers. Thanks for clarifying
Baldwin already had the trigger depressed when he pulled back the hammer on the revolver. It’s a common mistake for people who have never used a single action weapon. He admitted that he had his finger on the trigger, but did not pull it. A single action revolver will fire if you are holding the trigger down and pull back the hammer and then release it.
100 percent correct
This is like the Far Side skit where the rats had rat poison next to the cereals; I mean why even have live rounds in the armourer
THis, Im not that into firearms, and I know this. Im wondering why nobody else mentioning it. He "Didint pull the trigger", cuz he had it pulled already
Which points to the negligence of the "expert" on set who gave him the training and loaded the gun with a live bullet
Dindu nuffin. No case. Not guilty.
It is so fortunate that Alec is an actor, so when he testifies at trial, he can at least act innocent.
Notice @13:04, the evidence shows that 5 of the rounds were blanks, and only one cartridge was an actual live round. This means that the live round had to be loaded in the revolver in just the right cylinder so that it would be the first round discharged when the hammer is cocked.
This is exactly the same odds of dying playing Russian Roulette, if it was actually by accident.
Every single safety measure in handling the gun was disregarded, which means that no one did what they were supposed to do. Criminal negligence includes the intentional disregard of duty.
No matter what you will never be able to act intelligent
because you act all your live doesn't mean he does when he's telling the truth. Anyhow anyone knows he innocent but also everyone knows the armorist is the one that didn't due diligence.

I feel bad for all the victims in this case. And by that I mean, all the victims of the person who placed a live round inside the gun. To me, that’s the most important part of this case. It seems to me that some individuals just want to incriminate AB and completely play oblivious to the most scary, concerning and evil part in this case. Someone placed a live round in that gun. And that “someone “ is walking free
i really don't understand why AB is being investigated here?????
I agree.
When this first happened I heard that some actors walked off set & refused to come back because of the negligence in how it was run. I bet that caused a few falling outs .....
Now IMO I think someone purposely placed a live round in that gun to prove that due to the way he (A.B) was running the "show" that someone could or would get hurt & I bet the people that left said see I told you... I wounder who they are & what they had to say.
Ok
@@JamesHeller-if5kg
Because ultimately he was the last one to handle the gun and he failed to check the gun and he pointed the gun at the woman and he pulled the trigger. That's why.
@@JamesHeller-if5kg I think it’s because he was not just the actor, but also the producer, so ultimately he is apparently responsible for everything that happens on the set. 🤷♀️
Never talk to police without a lawyer present because anything you say can and will be used against you in court. I also do wonder why the proper safety protocol steps weren’t followed and how a live round ended up in that gun, but those are questions that we may never know the answers to.
Baldwin is a typical narcissist and can't not talk.
And don't give interviews
But what we do know is that the armorer is always with the firearm, ADs don't touch the firearm, and actors check the firearm before they start working with it.
Baldwin was at least somewhat negligent and bares some liability. He knew that when he claimed he didn’t pull the trigger. If he had just been honest on that point, things would be going a lot better for him right now.
I'll give you that. I don't know why he talked to anyone without his lawyer.
He was too busy trying to deflect negligence away from himself.
He never should’ve done that interview & he never should’ve lied.
He was too worried about the public perception of Alec Baldwin .!
He will get a negligence charge for overseeing the production
Baldwin also had an overall responsibility as a executive producer of the film.
It needs to be ascertained exactly who or whom handled the weapon prior to Alec and at what point it became loaded before all these lawsuits started flying.
Genuinely feel bad for this situation. It was an accident through and through but there was a lot of carelessness it seems. I hope the right people are brought to justice, and especially the entertainment industry takes extra precautions for future productions.
All firearm accidents are completely avoidable. Just the truth...
You do not know if it was an "accident through and through" and neither do I. it is possible that someone purposely planted a live round in the firearm.
It would also be nice if AB and the Hollyweirds would embrace the 2bd Amendment instead of being so hypocritical.
Right. Remember Jon-Erik Hexum who died by an accidental self-inflicted blank cartridge gunshot to the head on the set of Cover Up.
Dont confuse accidental. It's called negligent discharge of firearm. He failed on safety precautions. Fbi already confirmed that.
That was an interesting Sidebar!
I enjoyed listening to Steve Wolf explain the precautions that should be taken on movie sets. Steve also sounds biased against Alec & Hannah. But that speaks to the importance of gun safety on set.
Doesn't matter what you think about them, it was completely avoidable and if anyone else did it they would be charged by now
I've said this before anytime you have a firearm in your make sure it unloaded and if it's loaded you do not point it at another person no matter what
The real question is who's fingerprints were on the casing of the round that killed Ms. Hutchins.
Never answer questions. No matter how guilty or innocent you are.
This is crazy, as far as ive heard he didnt know the gun was loaded and the lady was telling him the direction to aim it in
*crazy
@@alfonsethegreat you can edit your comments. Tap the three dots on the upper right.
And he still ignored set protocols in handling a gun, he never checked the weapon himself. Had he put it up to his head, he sure would have checked it!
@@LisaPeterson227 hes an actor, not a props guy, the props people should be the ones making sure the guns arent dangerous
@@foreveryoung999 thx
A serious case of neglect all round. Seems this whole scene was so unprofessional and a woman, someone’s wife, mother and sister died. Someone should be accountable for this.
So hard when you see an actor react to something to tell if it's genuine or not.
Max 5 yrs in prison , for killing a human 😔 that's hurtful
By accident..
If you are driving a car, and are distracted for a moment, and someone runs into the street, you could be charged with manslaughter
the armorer should be punish with full responsibility. its great negligence, she did not do her job good.
completely agree!
thats how little you know about firearms. No one takes a firearm from someone else without checking if it is loaded themselves.
*gross negligence
@@patricksummers5189 a prop firearm - I think in normal life situations/ yes, that could be true in most cases - not all - but most. This is Hollywood- it’s a prop gun - so, I thinking actors do not check their “toy” guns for live ammo before handlings it.
@@dbar1 what is a prop gun? Toy gun? Toy guns don't have the capability to fire live actual bullets. I think calling a real fully functioning firearm a prop gun is a recipe for disaster. Like this incident. Remove the firing pin and you could call it a prop gun. But that was no toy gun.
Are there any professionals on this site that can explain what live ammunition was doing on a movie set and when filming why is the shooter taking aim on a photographer not in the scene for a fatal shot?
Yes. Hanna brought live ammunition on to the set.
She even asked the supplier if she could shot live ammo through the colt 45 Baldwin was holding in a text message.
It’s a movie set where guns get pointed at the camera or just left or right of camera all the time different to the real world, point is armorers duty to make sure gun isn’t loaded with live rounds with projectiles
Who's prints are on the casing?
You can tell me the "logistics" of this all day but I my brain still can't comprehend how this should all be playing out as criminal charges
When you crash into someone in your car and kill them it’s unvoluntary manslaughter. This is exactly the same.. you simply cant kill somebody without any repercussions… duh lol
@@kalamazooracing Welp - we clearly know you have zero law experience.
Thanks though 🙄😆💗
@user-bu8se5kf3g: I'd definitely be willing to bet, without a doubt, you wouldn't be saying that, if it was your wife, sister etc. I call bull-schitt. F'n laughable.
Adrian! Agreed!!!!
So negligent manslaughter means someone died, by accident, but it was preventable. The armorer is also being charged and because Baldwin is a producer and the triggerman so I feel it's reasonable to hold him accountable as well. All gun accidents are preventable and he has a responsibility to ensure everyone's safety when working with them.
Alec Baldwin broke ALL 4 GUN RULES. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot and know your target, what is before and behind it.
This is sad however you look at it! The Families are both devastated! God Bless May She Rest In Peace
Jesse I love u so much. Your theeee best on the channel easily.
I heard that the Movie crew had been using said gun for Target practice with live ammo during breaks..
He doesn't mention her first. It's he was my friend, I left my family to shoot this movie.
His only real remorse is he F**ked up
At the end of the day Who pulled the trigger The gun doesn;t fire by itself DUH ?
I believe I had read that some people on the set were shooting cans the day before?
Does anyone know for certain?
Will the trial be televised?
negligence and stupidity from at least two people created the situation that made this possible. no excuse for it.
All good points! I especially like the one about if the scene was for Alec too point the gun at his head and pull the trigger, well you know that he would of checked the weapon!
How would he now if if was cold or not. I would not know.
@@nosuchthing8 They teach you how to check in a basic firearms safety class. The minute he decided to use & handle real guns in his movie it was his responsibility to educate himself before taking possession of a real life gun, pointing it someone & pulling the trigger. If he didn’t know or didn’t want to be bothered he should have insisted on using “ Props”….
@@michaelcalland801 and they teach you how to defuse a normal bomb or a nuclear bomb in yet another series of classes.
Sorry, you have zero understanding. An actor might be in dozens of movies a year. Are they supposed to be experts in bombs, nukes, guns, flame throwers, etc?
No. In each case they hire a special effects person to ensure their safety
@@nosuchthing8 BUT THEY AREN'T USING REAL NUKES ARE THEY ?
It was a real Gun…..so it you who have ZERO understanding about anything never mind the movies.
@@michaelcalland801 a real nuke with fake uranium then. Hey, it's on YOU to check its fake uranium right
A number of years ago I made it a practice that in my shooting classes anyone who allowed his gun's muzzle, loaded or empty, to drift across any person would be announced. That person would have his gun taken away, emptied, and placed on a shelf for all to see during the rest of the shoot. And yes, that includes myself. If you see the muzzle of my gun drift across another person, announce it. And I will bear the shame of carelessly endangering another's life ... the life of one of my friends or loved ones. And yes; it has been done. It is that serious.
It's a great point about the revolver being single action too (that is a purposeful design function allowing a shooter to "fan" the hammer while holding the trigger to fire repeatedly). Alec saying he didn't pull the trigger after cocking could be true because he was already holding it before he cocked it (as this armorer suggests). If true this would also explain why the gun was pointed at Halyna at all, if Alec was using his thumb for cocking, the barrel could move around unintentionally and/or his grip could have been tight to try and ensure it didn't. If he had no idea that the gun is designed to function like that, the point when he cocked was unlikely to be when he intended it to fire.
I don't say this to try and remove blame from him, just to counter some theories that have been going around about Alec shooting Halyna on purpose.
following.
In reality with a single action pistol if your thumb slips off the hammer while cocking before you reach the catch point the gun could fire without the trigger being pulled.
Would've been hard to charge Alec and not the armorer
Baldwin pointed a gun at a person, pulled the trigger and the person died. He was reckless.
I agree with everything Steve says in this interview. (He needed a second camera for the close-ups on the firearm, don't you think?)
Is anyone questioning if someone was unhappy with Alec and would set him up? All around gross negligence but I would still question this.
I think he was set up ..
Colt single action pistols have hammers
requiring 4 clicks rearward before firing
with a trigger pull... and that also goes
for replica Colt firearms. In other words,
the trigger had to be pulled.
Finally someone who knows how a Colt single action works!
5 years seems more than fair mistake or not took someone's life!
I can't imagine pointing a real gun at anyone unless self defense. I would check and re check before shooting blanks at anyone. Maybe this will change using real guns in movies.
If charges haven't been filed, then why is there video of Baldwin in an orange jumpsuit, holding the plaque, and having his mug shot taken??
I remember, at the time, hearing reports that Hannah wasn't there because Baldwin had sent her off to do something else. I also remember them talking about frequent target shooting after filming had stopped for the day.
