Baldwin’s Prop Gun is Loaded per Attorney

In Personal Injury by Greensboro Attorney

Greensboro Attorney

The short version

Who doesn’t love a good movie? Things on set are often overlooked as possible hazards and that’s exactly what happened this week.

A Greensboro attorney at our law firm was made aware that a firearm on set, which was supposed to be a prop gun was actually loaded. During the filming, Alex Baldwin fired the prop gun and there were actual projectiles of some sort inside of the weapon.

The gun actually fired and killed the cinematographer on set and injured the director. Our top rated personal injury lawyer advises that the director is still in the hospital as of the writing of this article. Law enforcement is looking into the situation but Alex Baldwin was seen in tears on set as filming has been halted on the movie, Rust. The movie was a western set to be released in the coming years.

Our Greensboro family lawyer sends up her thoughts and prayers for all who were involved in this tragedy. Stay safe Greensboro!
