Gutierrez-Reed was also responsible for ensuring that the guns on the set did not contain live rounds, saying in an interview that she should have taken each round out of the gun and shaken them in front of the actor — a practice that helps confirm the rounds are dummies, inert cartridges used to resemble real ammunition in a film.

Simple involuntary manslaughter for negligence is punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Baldwin was pointing a gun with the live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins as they set up a shot for an upcoming scene.

But Dillon said the overlap of weapons and props is inevitable, and such dual roles happen often. He said the pace and length of large studio productions can put crews in positions where accidents of all kinds can become more likely. “It is incumbent on anybody that holds a gun to make sure that it is either not loaded or to know what it is loaded with,” she said in an interview with The Associated Press. The need for speed on any set incentives behaviour that’s not always the best for safety.” “An actor’s job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert,” the Screen Actors Guild said in a statement Thursday. “I’m not saying that there’s no good reason to use real pyrotechnics, but in terms of basic safety and speed, this makes sense.” “And certainly then to not point it at someone and pull the trigger. “From experience I knew it was more than that,” Dillon said. “I’ll stop the whole process just to show them so that they feel comfortable with it.” It has also meant more simple things, like shouting when using the same safety protocols long in place to make clear to everyone when a gun is present and what its status is. Parsons said the fact that it was misguided to blame the fact that “Rust” was a small-budget independent production. “But the immediate reaction in the industry was to try to cancel the use of blanks altogether.”

Accidental gun violence on sets is surprisingly common, but is usually considered a tragic mistake rather than a crime.

But a crime? A horrific accident, yes. The controversial actor was holding a prop gun that he thought was filled with blanks; a live round fired and killed a cinematographer.
