Yeah I don't know. I think it was sabotage. Baldwin was told the gun he was given was "cold," that is, it didn't have any live rounds in it. He's not responsible. He wasn't even playing with it apparently, he was simply pulling it out of its holster for a scene they were filming when it went off. If accounts are to be believed, it's either gross crew incompetence, like to a degree that will likely get someone thrown into jail, or it's deliberate sabotage.

Another thing I'm wondering is, the woman he killed was the head of the union on set or whatever; was she a "diversity" hire? DPs don't tend to be women. Is it possible she was hired because she was a woman first, and an experienced crew member second, thus her lack of experience leading the union crew, thus leading to the union crew walkout, thus resulting in this incident? I wonder, I wonder.
