SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — An assistant director unwittingly handed Alec Baldwin a loaded weapon and told him it was safe to use in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer, court records released Friday show.
“Cold gun,” the assistant director announced, according to a search warrant filed in a Santa Fe court.

Instead, the gun was loaded with live rounds, and when Baldwin pulled the trigger Thursday on the set of a Western, he killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her, was wounded, the records said.

Sounds like a mixture of failings at different stages has caused this terrible event. It will be interesting to see if there's any charges.

I understand it is a tv show, and a gun was required for it, but why on earth would someone bring real bullets with them? And then decide to store them inside a gun?
 
I think it’s since been deleted, but my God. Also, not to be pedantic, but if the roles had been reversed, how would Baldwin have been calling for anything?

There really should be, including for Baldwin. I thought rule 1 of firearms training everywhere was “do not point the gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them dead”?
