Yikes.

How does that even happen? Who loads a prop gun with live ammo? Bruce Lee's son was killed the same way.

First of all, this is such a sad story. I feel so sorry for the woman who died and her family and friends. Of course, Baldwin must be totally distraught. I also found this interesting tweet thread.

That is very sad what happened and naturally there are Trump supporters out there stating Baldwin should be held accountable for the death. :L

Like the melon-headed fool:

Fake guns in movies get more control than real guns people carry into Starbucks.

Why do they even have blanks in guns anymore. Couldnt they just add the sound and light effects in later? Sad story.
Well, this is not a good start to the weekend - RIP Peter, I liked Bosom Buddies.

I liked it too, and he was usually pretty solid in other smaller things I saw him in over the years. RIP

I read earlier today they were “prepping” the scene. I’m assuming a rehearsal of some sorts and that the gun was loaded with LIVE AMMO. How in the world does that even happen?!? Awful all around.


/ I see forty three just posted the same thing.

I ready somewhere that what happened with Brandon Lee was they had two Clips for the shot. one was with FAKE prop full sized bullets and one with the Blanks to get the sound and visual. They filmed the loading of the gun with the full size prop bullets and then took them out for the shooting scene with the blanks, however a small piece of the prop bullets broke off in the gun and was fired at Brandon with the blanks. I am thinking this is what happened here as well. still seems weird that the gun is as real as it is and really unsafe. especially after Brandon's death (RIP)
