Accidental shooting death on Alec Baldwin set.

[Aspiring Mogul]

My condolences to the family and the cast and crew. I presume a massive lawsuit will be started soon.

Not knowing ANY of the facts, I'll hold my tongue. But it's hard for me to understand how ANYTHING like this could EVER happen. Maybe I've just been through enough in my 68 years that I'm paranoid about the handling of weapons (and prop weapons), but my deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and friends, and to Alec Baldwin... who may need them most of all.

The sources claim that some crew members would go off for target practice using real bullets, and some believe a live round from those practice sessions found its way onto the set.

Another source told TMZ that live ammo and blanks were being stored in the same area on set, offering another possible explanation as to how a bullet was fired from Baldwin's Colt.
