    Apparently the armourer had placed 3 guns on a bench outside the set. At least one was loaded live for use for a particular effect in a scene. She may have then left them unattended but that's unclear. An assistant directer came off the set and fetched one back onto the set and gave it to Baldwin with the words "cold gun". Unclear if they started shooting the scene or if Baldwin just gave the trigger a pull while fiddling with it.

    1. Ultimately the armourer is at fault for not supervising the selection of the gun, or not tagging it as live or some such.
    2. The Ass Director contributed negligence by not checking the gun, or not checking with the armourer which gun she had prepped for the scene and for giving Baldwin the impression it was "cold" (unloaded).
    3. Baldwin should have checked that he had the correct gun for the scene and not taken the Ass Directors word for it.

    At least one, possibly all three of them, will face Involuntary Manslaughter charge I reckon.

    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
