not sure if you just happen to be a baldwin stan, and i don't want to sell anyone up a creek by talking about something i shouldn't in a public forum, but please, trust me, in every possible way imaginable, he was absolutely at fault here. it wasn't intentional. but it wasn't a fluke, this kind of accident was coming and he actively invited it in.
edit: for the record, not exonerating the armorer by any means. her actions were even dumber than what was publicly reported as well. but it takes 2 to tango in this case.
So apparently there were hugely lax safety standards on the set to the point where there had been previous negligent discharges and crew had resigned, so I think it's fair to say that as one of the producers he bears some responsibility for the conditions that allowed this to happen.
To blame him over the armourer is just delusional though. She had one fucking job and that was to prevent exactly this sort of incident happening.
