Will anyone be charged for shooting 2 people (Page 1/6)

By now we have all heard of Mr. Baldwin and his shooting of two of his coworkers.
I would like to know if anyone will be charged?
I know it was not on purpose, BUT in some circumstances that does not matter. There are some many gun laws policies and procedures to prevent this exact situation.

Several people should be charged. But end of the day its a fact, he pointed a gun at two people and shot them.
Doesn't matter how many people handled the gun before he pulled the trigger he is still responsible.
It will be up to 12 members of a jury to decide how responsible he is if we are to see justice.

I will be surprised if it even gets past a grand jury.

Same here but I can always hope there will be accountability. I hope the families own the lot of them at the end of it.

I do not know all of the details yet, but gross negligence come to mind.
The gun clearly is capable of shooting projectiles, so I have to ask if it is a "real" gun that they call "prop gun"? If it is a real gun, somebody must certainly be charged of at the least manslaughter. If it is some type of "toy, movie prop" it should have still been handled better.

Maybe if he wasn't soo against guns he could of learned proper safety and handling of them.

It is monumentally ironic that one of the most vocal celebrity anti-gun nuts has now shot and wounded and killed more people than 99.99% of all law abiding gun owners have...or likely ever will.

The "news" that is dribbling out about this is also looking more and more like they are trying desperately to NOT put the blame on the man who had the gun in his possession and who pulled the trigger but on the 23 year old young woman who was in charge of the prop guns being used while making the movie.

I understand the responsibility of the "armorer" but if this actually is a real gun, he shares responsibility. If it is a "fake" gun then I would agree he isn't as responsible.

Latest new reports are it is a real gun and had been used by the staff/crew for target practice between filming scenes for the movie. It's also reported that a 'prop' gun cannot be loaded with live fire ammo. If someone handed the real loaded weapon to Baldwin (a known gun hater) that person should be held responsible however, it appears that many safety protocals were ignored most of all the pointing of a weapon (even a prop gun) directly at someone holding a camers / boom mike etc. Tragic on many levels.

Baldwin will skate, he is a darling of the left. Low man (or woman) on the totem pole will take the fall and there will be a flurry of law suits and quiet settlements. I can't imagine anyone will be charged criminally, unless there is something big that we aren't hearing.
