Baldwin is in trouble.
For safety, all live firearms used in TV and film productions are typically aimed at a dummy point, not at equipment, cast or crew, Carpenter noted. Guns, he said, are never aimed at a person.

Dr. Todd Grande appears to agree with Cultellus. Video is 14:17 minutes.

Maybe Cultellus can get some quotes from Steve Bannon and the Kremlin.

I have no doubt that Baldwin is genuinely remorseful because of the death of a friend, and would have been so regardless of the circumstances of her death, but I am equally sure that his remorse is further intensified by a nagging awareness that he cannot entirely escape all responsibility for what happened, no matter whose negligence contributed to there being a bullet in the prop gun. It should never have been pointed at anyone there.

He pointed a real gun at someone and pulled the trigger. And his response was that someone handed him a hot gun. What a dick.
I handled at least a dozen guns yesterday with my sons, grandson and granddaughter. None of them were ever pointed at a person. The absurdity of pointing a real gun at someone and pulling the trigger is so far beyond my reality, I may never come to terms with another process for actors and stunt people. Oh well.

Here is a good article taking the position that while Baldwin could be charged with involuntary manslaughter based on how the set was negligently run, the more likely result will be a civil wrongful death settlement.

I don't know if this will be career ending. Baldwin seems unstable and prone to fits on anger, but, that hasn't stopped him so far and people tend to forget easily.
