Accidentally? How does someone "accidentally" do this?! In a normal world, he'd be arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder.
Brings back the memory of Brandon Lee. He died the same way. Prop guns are supposed to have blanks, NOT projectiles loaded into them, right? This wasn't a mistake.
Movie set guns use blank cartridges, but these can still kill or maim if a person is close to the muzzle. Blanks have a primer (for the hammer to strike) which sets off a gunpowder charge inside the casing, which propels a paper or wax "bullet" down the barrel. The muzzle velocity of these paper/wax projectiles is quite low relative to a real bullet, and they lose their energy rather quickly....they can sting at about 20 yards, but up close they can penetrate skin. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN FRONT OF A GUN SHOOTING BLANKS WHEN IT GOES OFF.

They killed Brandon like they did his father Bruce, I didn't know who people were talking about. I'm so fucking old.
Lets Go Brandon!
She must have known something he didn't want her to.
I don't like Baldwin but can someone explain to me why there is live ammo in a gun on a movie set?
A quick search will tell you how prop guns work. Its not live ammo.
at the very least negligence
She was a pretty lady.

Doesn’t look like a dude to me.
