Why would he point the gun at another person and than pull the trigger?

He would be heart-broken would be my guess.

Because he was making a movie and thought that the gun was not loaded with bullets.

2021 Rust shooting incident - Wikipedia

Why would he point the gun at another person and than pull the trigger. She works the camera and the direct are usually next to the camera I would guess it was going to be part of the shot.
I'll saw a funny, maybe not so funny accident that happened on a Polo cologne commercial I was working on.
We were on a polo field and they designed a shot where the player took a shot at the camera. They put a plexiglass sheet on an angel in front of this $55k camera, I assume that it would not fly back at the rider. Inside it flew over everyone head and knockout the director's son's nanny that was standing a good distance behind us. I doubt she ever visited a set again.

Vic Morrow and two child actors were killed on a movie set several years ago from an explosion. That made headlines for sure.

I conclude the same a this writer, not enough evidence to show any wrong doing.
I don't like Baldwin but you can't judge people with hate.

No. Just because a public person like Baldwin voices his political opinions doesn’t mean you can break the rules of an online forum and post political stuff. It is specifically banned on TOTV.

Some people just have to bring politics into everything. There are some diehards on TOTV that just don’t know when to quit. Give it a friggin rest.

This is TOTV.
No evidence or facts needed.
Guilty as charged!

Which caused the helicopter to crash.

Loved him on some shows. Not so much on others.

I see no evidence that Alec Baldwin meant to hurt anyone.

That was decades ago on a Twilight Zone movie set.

Yes, because we all know ONLY union members can tell the difference between live ammo and blanks, and ONLY union members practice gun safety on a set, and ONLY union members......... (Oh, yes, and ONLY union members pay dues to the union)

Just sounds like someone was criminally negligent in the placing of a weapon with live rounds in it on a place where actors retrieve these items for use in the movie production.

These Old West pistols are fairly heavy as well so it would be hard to tell if these were not blanks loaded.

I doubt anyone could tell the difference between a gun loaded with blanks or live ammo by weight

My older brother's friend had a tendency to whittle pieces of himself off while growing up in Reno, Nevada.

He found an old pistol around Rattlesnake Mountain. Took it home and put a live round in it to see if it would work. Well, the pistol exploded in his hand.

I got that old pistol minus various parts from my older brother after he had to leave town to get away from a bad element and used to practice my fast draws. But now the gun had no firing pin in it and I would never load it anyway.

This is the same friend of my older brother who tried fishing for carp in Hidden Lake behind Rattlesnake Mountain with a machete. He missed and gashed his leg up rather badly.
