Even without that comment, I think there is enough justification for. a negligent homicide charge.  If it is true, that just ices it.
Absolutely.

Tearful Alec Baldwin asked why he was handed 'hot gun' after fatal shooting on set: Report

Actor Alec Baldwin was distraught and shocked after fatally shooting a crew member on the set of his latest movie, asking repeatedly why he was given a "hot gun," according to a new report.

The 63-year-old star broke down in tears as he was questioned by Santa Fe authorities following the tragic mishap on the set of Rust, a western he was producing and starring in, Showbiz 411 reported . A single shot from a prop gun Baldwin apparently did not know was loaded killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

“In all my years, I’ve never been handed a hot gun,” Baldwin repeatedly said following the accident, according to the account.

Keep digging that hole douchewheel.

Whether you knew the gun was hot or not, Mr. Baldwin, does not excuse your acting contrary to minimum basic gun safety rules; to wit: do not point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at anyone whom you would not be happy to kill with that gun.

Interesting ..... even if this was an accident, there's more than enough negligence for some degree of charges.  These protocols appear not to have been followed ....

"Hot gun," really? A prop gun is one that comes from the property department. It doesn't mean it isn't an actual gun, which I guess is a hot gun. What a dope.

Always treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Never point a gun at anything you are unwilling to destroy.
Keep your finger outside the trigger guard and off the trigger until you have your target properly sighted, and intend to destroy it.
Know your target and what lies beyond it.

We "gun nuts" know these things.

Apparently, Mr. Baldwin did not.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Even more irony is that Baldwin has shot 2 more people than any non-military and responsible  Briefer gun owner has.

Maybe if only he'd taken those NRA Gun Safety courses,   those lives may have been saved.

Prop Gun Fired by Alec Baldwin Contained Live Bullet, Says IATSE Local 44

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the New Mexico set of the Alec Baldwin film “Rust” after she was shot by a prop gun fired by the film’s star and producer, Alec Baldwin. IATSE Local 44, which covers prop masters, sent an email to its members early Friday morning that said the gun used in the scene contained “a live round” and the production’s propmaster was not a member of Local 44. Director Joel Souza also was hit and injured by a bullet and was treated at an area hospital before being released.

[...]

In the email that IATSE Local 44 sent to its membership, Secretary-Treasurer Anthony Pawluc described the event as an “an accidental weapons discharge” in which “A live single round was accidentally fired on set by the principal actor, hitting both the Director of Photography, Local 600 member Halnya Hutchins, and Director Joel Souza … Local 44 has confirmed that the Props, Set Decoration, Special Effects and Construction Departments were staffed by New Mexico crew members. There were no Local 44 members on the call sheet.”

There is no way this happens without some seriously irresponsible gun handling.

To start with, anyone who actually knows how to handle guns, knows not to point it at anything or anyone you don't intend to kill.

Off the get-go, the play acting in Hollyweird  necessarily ignores this very basic law. Add to that the ignorance of where your trigger finger goes until you are ready to pop a round, and it is a recipe for disaster.

Likely close quarters and the wad did the deed. Folks don't get that the wad in blanks is still a projectile.

If there were no IATSE Local 44 union members working on the set, how does the union know what happened there?   :pondering:

One shot fired by Alec Baldwin tore through two people on movie set
NY Post, Oct 22, 2021

The bullet Alec Baldwin fired from a prop gun first struck director of photography Halyna Hutchins — then exited her body and hit film director Joel Souza’s clavicle on the set of the upcoming film “Rust,” according to a report Friday.

The movie set was quickly locked down and Hutchins and Souza were rushed to a hospital via a helicopter, according to the report. Hutchins died while being transported.

The “Motherless Brooklyn” star went to the hospital to check on the condition of the filmmakers, where he learned he had killed Hutchins, according to the outlet.

So why was there "real" ammunition in a prop gun on a movie set?
I would suggest this was deliberate..

I get the sense that Baldwin knowingly and willfully pulled the trigger in what was - he thought - a horse playing moment. Regardless, there seems to be abundant negligence.

Plus @EdinVA if Baldwin had --- as he was supposed to do ---- checked the gun, he would have known it was loaded.

Lots of negligence here .... the non-union prop master (training unknown), the prop master not checking the gun, the actor not checking the gun, the actor pointing the gun at the woman who would become his victim.

Exclusive Eyewitness Recounts Shooting on Alec Baldwin Movie Set: One bullet ripped through both victims

   

by Roger Friedman - October 22, 2021 12:46 am

EXCLUSIVE It was one bullet that discharged from the prop gun on the Santa Fe movie “Rust” and killed the director of photography and wounded the movie’s director.

An eyewitness on set tells this column that the bullet went straight through the body of DP Halyna Hutchins and into the clavicle of the film’s director Joel Souza.

Very quickly the set was locked down. Ambulance and helicopters arrived. Hutchins and Souza were sent straight to the hospital. Hutchins died en route in a helicopter.

On the ground, Baldwin was in shock but composed. He kept asking why he was handed a “hot gun.” Our eyewitness said Baldwin kept saying “In all my years, I’ve never been handed a hot gun.”

“A hot gun” means a gun with real ammunition.

Baldwin, not knowing the fate of the victims, was taken immediately to the hospital. “He had no idea how badly they were hurt or Halyna was dead.”

“Rust” is a Tier 1 one movie, meaning it was being produced for under $6 million. Our source says: “They had safety meetings every day but it was a Tier I movie, so they probably didn’t have more than 1 prop person.” According to the imdb, there was one key medic on the staff and two stunt people.

Whatever happened on the set, Alec Baldwin certainly didn’t intend for this outcome. And “Rust” is done. Sources say the production has been halted but as with the movie about Gregg Allman’s life, in which a crew member was killed because of negligence, lawsuits will now override any chance to that movie being finished.
