Clearly someone made a terrible error on that set. Baldwin might have some liability as a producer for the accident but I don't think he is personally responsible for the safety of the props on the set. It's insane that someone yelled "cold gun" on a loaded weapon. How did that happen? Was it an error or was it intentional?

Baldwin is a gun owner.
He is also the one who killed that woman. Not the person who told him it was a cold gun.
If someone handed you a gun, told you it wasn't loaded, would you point it at a family member and pull the trigger or would you double and triple check that it really was unloaded first?
The person in possession of the firearm is solely responsible for handling that firearm safely. You don't get to shrug and claim it's someone else's fault if you kill someone.
Did other people screw up? Yes, that seems likely. But Baldwin is the killer.
