Very strange story. Similar to the Brandon Lee incident.

Do they really need to use real guns on a movie set?

sounds like gun was loaded wtf, how does that happen
you would think they would be more careful after what happened to Brandon Lee

Comes across as an Agatha Christie plot.

i cant believe they dont check themselves before they fire.

by all reports there have been a few safety issues on the set.

They have people who's job it is to check, and they shouldn't have any live ammo on set, period.

When I was 15 A mate was unloading his gun and somehow a slug was in the breach and it fired and I lost a kidney a spleen and very nearly my life. It was months before I could go to school and about a year before I could play any sort of sport. A gun is always loaded and never ever should be pointed at anyone if the intent is for show.

I just can't think why the armourer would have live rounds. The only person near the place who could justify could be a vet in case a horse breaks a leg.

I can see a massive lawsuit coming here.

Watching "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" will never be quite the same.

It's now emerged that the armourer (i.e. the person specifically in charge of the guns on set), Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was an inexperienced 24-year-old nepotism hire (her dad is a long-time Hollywood armourer).

What with everything else coming out about the labour conditions on set, this all just seems like one big parable about employment ethics, and why we need unions to keep employers in check.

geezus, that last comment is a leap isn't it?

Unions already have a big role in Hollywood. Lets wait and see what any inquest says, and calling the armourer a "nepotism hire" is also a stretch isn't it?

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the missus this morning?
