Hollywood is the land of make-believe, but the very real specter of death can hover over television and movie sets. 'There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident,' he said. In a statement, Baldwin said he is cooperating with the police investigation.

The investigation 'remains open and active' and no charges have been filed, according to the sheriff's office. Wolf's remarks come after a film crew member died and another was injured after Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on the set of the movie 'Rust,' according to a law enforcement statement provided to CNN. If it is just a blank, 'all that will come out are hot expanding gases and flame and smoke and a noise,' he added. 'If you put a blank in there, you make sure there is a blank, no bullet on the end of it,' he said. 'It is hollow. It is just gunpowder and a piece of paper that holds the powder in.' Then, holding up what appeared to be a live piece of ammunition, Wolf said the blank should also be checked to ensure there is no bullet sitting on the end of the casing. Holding up what appeared to be a weapon and a bullet on CNN, Wolf listed reasonable steps on-set coordinators could take to prevent such incidents.įor example, he said coordinators should always look inside of the cylinder of the weapon to ensure 'there is nothing in the gun that could come out.' 'If a bullet comes out and injures someone, that's exactly what it is designed to do, so you have to figure out how you make sure that doesn't happen,' he said.
