They had no confirmation as of the late news last night, but I think it would be pretty much impossible for shrapnel from a blank to pass completely thru someone and hurt someone else.

That's what I do when I accidentally shoot someone, I head for my beach house in the Hamptons.
And you never invite any of your friends from SMIBs online.

Well, that, and it's Baldwin's job to practice trigger discipline, even with what he believes is a "prop" gun.Ugh, I hate everyone for making me stick up for Alec Baldwin.
It is a job for those people. The screwup wasn't Baldwin's, it's the fault of the prop guy because that's his job.
Baldwin is still a huge douche, though.

Production crew walked off Baldwin movie set before tragic shooting
The workers had been complaining about the fact they had to stay overnight in Albuquerque - an hour's drive from the set - and not Sante Fe because production wouldn't pay for their hotels.

Oh, okay. Well, when you put it that way....We could still show up in droves in our rusty beaters, bib overalls, trucker caps, crab fishing boots, and racks of 7-ouncers.

From this story some guy (or gal) that didn't really know if the gun was safe handed it to Alec and told him it was safe. That is a disaster waiting to happen. This is a poor safety protocol or one that wasn't followed at all.
When I get into a cockpit of an aircraft with an ejection seat, even though its someone else's job to make it safe, it is my job to verify that it is actually safe befre i touch it. I have to renew this training every six months to be able to get in the cockpit.
There is a reason tools have to be checked multiple times when completing a job in the navy.

The news did mention this was a low-budget film, so there may be some truth to this.Production crew walked off Baldwin movie set before tragic shooting

He’s not aware of the barbed wire no go zone and machine gun emplacements around your home.
Too much?

The RBF is enough deterrent for me....
I would’ve added a minefield.

"Alec Baldwin shot a woman who grew up in Murmansk on a Soviet base in the Arctic Circle “surrounded by nuclear submarines”
Meanwhile:
Alec Baldwin starred in the film, The Hunt for Red October, wherein he helps hunt down a Russian nuclear submarine that was originally docked in Murmansk on a Soviet base in the Arctic Circle."
Hutchins was born in 1979[7] in Horodets, Zhytomyr Oblast, USSR, but grew up in the Russian city of Murmansk,[2] on a Soviet military base in the Arctic,[2][8] where her father served in the Soviet Navy.[9] She called herself an "army brat".[8] According to film historian Jim Hemphill, she first became interested in film while living at the military base.[10] She attended National Agricultural University[2] and then Kyiv National University, first studying economics before changing her study to journalism.[11] Hutchins graduated there with a degree in international journalism, and worked on documentary films as an investigative journalist in Eastern Europe.[12][13][14] She met her husband Matthew,[15] who is American, while in Kyiv.[16] They had a son.[15]

NBC article providing cover for Baldwin made a bizarre reference to Hunt for Red October
"If you swap out the idea of guns on a set for something else, though, the relative responsibility between the actor and the crew becomes clearer. Consider one of Baldwin’s other films, “The Hunt for Red October,” a thriller about nuclear submarines. Imagine the script called for an actor on the set of the submarine’s bridge to push a red button. But instead of prop missiles on the submarine, a crew member thought it would be more realistic to use actual Soviet-era SS-20 ballistic missiles connected to that red button. When the actor pushes the button, he’s shocked when it actually launches the missiles, causing catastrophic harm."

Alec Baldwin fires prop gun, killing Halyna Hutchins. But who's responsible?
His case may be one of the rare exceptions in which the person shooting the gun might be the least responsible party.

I wonder if she was seen as a scab, says the woman killed was advocating for her team but stayed on...
Noted. But I do have acorns!

This guy has fired guns before on Supernatural.
There might be one around here somewhere.
