Interesting idea. I may raise hackles here, but the Trump camp were no fans of Baldwin. Who knows, stranger things have happened: like an actor (John Wilkes Boothe), shooting a President (Lincoln), in a theater. Maybe a supporter of a certain President meant to shoot an actor (Baldwin) on a movie set? In other words the bullet was meant for Baldwin? But by a strange quirk of fate Baldwin ended up shooting the cinemaphotographer? Like I said, stranger things have happened.
Really. See below. I think Mr. Baldwin is going to have whole bunch of legal problems in the near future if any of this can be verified.

Hmmmm...Alec appeared on TV interview last week, claiming he never even touched the trigger, but did admit to cocking the hammer of the gun. .And that he wasn't pointing it at Hutchins, even thou in previous statements, he clearly said he was pointing the gun. Which is it? What precisely, is he trying to say? That the gun fired by itself? Another question I have is why was he in such a hurry to talk to Hutchin's husband? If I had just accidently shot & killed somebody, the last person I'd want to see would be their spouse. Not because I'm a coward, but because I'd be too ashamed.
I saw the interview - he was aiming the gun at her direction, which also was IN her direction. (she was telling him what to do) He never said he wasn't pointing it at her. He said that she told him to cock the gun and then when he released (uncocked) it the gun went off. Here's an interesting article I found:
As to why he went to see her husband & son, he said in the interview he did not feel guilt, only sadness and anger as to how the live round got in the gun, so he wasn't ashamed.

Good thing it wasn't done by a poster here or family and friends, who knows if you have no fame or celebrity the poster might be locked up. George Stephanopolis sure wouldn't be giving the average citizen an hour commercial format to plea their case and turn on and off the tears. It does need a thorough investigation for sure.

I work in public relations. The recent Alec Baldwin interview has been held up in multiple articles in the PR world as how NOT to do crisis communications. It came across as shirking responsibility and just kind of odd.

This is a little while back, but George Clooney, who has lots of experience as both an actor and a producer, said Baldwin was doing everything wrong--and that's according to the rules put in place after Brandon Lee was killed. Which also means these weren't new rules, but rules Baldwin should have known. One those rules is as the actor with the gun, you NEVER take anyone's word that the gun is "cold". You check it y_ourself_. According to Clooney--and he outta know. There were complaints that safety was lax that very morning.

Exactly. I agree with Nancy. When I took a gun safety course years ago, the first rule is you never point a gun at someone even if you believe it to be empty. Baldwin must have learned this rule and taken a similar course.
