It's titled something like 'Accident on movie set'. Didn't say that Alec fired the shot in the OP.

@Lucky Charm Thank you. How could a prop gun be loaded?

@stellabystarlight From what I understand, the blanks can be lethal.

Any gun can be lethal. Prayers to the victim's family and to Alec. He must be heartbroken over this event.

Bruce Lee's son actor Brandon Lee was killed on the set by a prop gun back in 1993.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was the person shot and killed. She was 42.

Lots of questions. Why was he even pointing a gun at the cinematographer and director? Other actors tend to be most at risk as they're who the hero/villain typically points the gun at. Why point it at the cinematographer or director unless you're upset with them? Whether it was live ammo or blanks, he shouldn't have been pointing the gun at the cinematographer and director. Was he "playfully" shooting them assuming they'd be unharmed or shooting them out of anger/frustration? Either one is bad for him.

What a tragedy for all involved. I'm sure they'll be more details as they investigate the events leading up to the discharge of the weapon.

I guess there wil be an OSHA investigation and fines.

I can't imagine their hearts will be into completing the film but there may be too much at stake - financially - not to.

There are really no words to accurately capture all this.

If I ever hurt anyone intentionally or unintentionally, my life would be over. I would never recover from it.
