    You made it sound like he’d gone postal!
    Sounds like it was an accident with a prop gun which he thought had blanks in.

    A story like this almost makes you want Trump back on twitter given their history

    Film productions hire people to be responsible for all firearms on set.

    Crazy how this can happen.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Isn’t that what headline writers are supposed to do?

    In civilised countries, the chance of there being live ammunition in a gun on a film set is as close to a non issue as you can get.

    However, this having taken place in the US - Texas in particular with their ‘open carry’ laws means, this is a material risk there.

    Why he was shooting at crew and the director is strange - but what do I know?

    Blanks can be deadly if fired at short range so even lack of live ammution doesnt nessecary remove all the risk.

    However as GP said, usually film sets or theatres have people who’s sole job is to look after firearms and ensure they are handled safely

    yeah i didn't know that about blanks - presumably bullet fragments are still propelled out of the gun ?

    but if it's not the first time - i.e. they know that can happen - why the hell is anyone still using them on film sets etc? sounds like total negligence to me

    He must have known something was wrong when he shot the first person.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
