Alec Baldwin WTF
It all kind of depends on the deal so it’s hard to say without knowing, but you’re right that he likely was not “in charge” on set.
Ultimately some entity/production company is responsible for holding insurance on the film. I’d be very surprised if Baldwin was a liable part of that entity, but you never know. But I would guess that entity, and every single producer, including Baldwin, is about to be sued.
This article says the AD told Baldwin the gun was safe. Which is not normal in my experience.

Alec Baldwin WTF
No prob here’s a copy/paste:
In a statement, the actor said his “heart is broken” after a gun he used as a prop killed the movie’s cinematographer and wounded its director in New Mexico. The Santa Fe County sheriff’s office is investigating and hopes to have more information early next week.
The assistant director of the western film “Rust” grabbed a prop pistol from a gray cart and handed it to the movie’s star, Alec Baldwin, shouting “cold gun!” — which was supposed to indicate that it did not contain any live rounds, and was safe to handle around the crew huddled by the camera.
But the weapon fired when Mr. Baldwin pulled the trigger a few minutes later, discharging a live projectile that hit the director, Joel Souza, in the shoulder and struck the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, in the chest, killing her.
The first official account of the killing, which has rocked the entertainment industry and raised questions about workplace safety issues in film productions, was released late Friday in an affidavit filed by the Santa Fe County sheriff’s department seeking to search the rustic wooden building where the shooting happened.
A state magistrate judge granted the request, which includes an examination of the gun for biological evidence as well as a review of cameras, film, memory cards or other video recorders that may provide information in the case. Mr. Baldwin has cooperated with investigators, a spokesman for the department said. No charges have been filed in the shooting.
While the five-page filing provides many basic logistical details of the shooting, it leaves many questions unanswered — namely how a live round ended up in a gun fired by an actor.
The assistant director “did not know live rounds were in the prop gun,” Detective Joel Cano wrote in the affidavit.
The weapon was “set up” on the tray by the movie’s weapons specialist, or armorer, along with a Western-style gun belt used in the scene. Detective Cano did not say what the armorer told investigators who arrived at the Bonanza Creek resort, where the film was shooting.
Ms. Hutchins, who was 42, was sitting in front of Mr. Souza, the director, watching the scene play out when the projectile struck her, the police said.
The armorer “was given the prop gun after it was fired by actor Alec Baldwin” and “then took the spent casing” out of the weapon before handing it over to the police, Detective Cano wrote.
Mr. Baldwin “was wearing Old Western style clothing during the filming,” and changed into his street clothes before turning over his costume to the department’s evidence technician, he wrote.
“These clothes appeared to have blood stains,” Detective Cano added

It was a low budget movie. I can’t see Baldwin taking a back seat on anything. He is fucked.
Of all the wtf moments you can think of, I can’t imagine anything worse.

A .45 Colt round would have a 250 grain bullet and 30-40 grains of powder. No idea how much powder is in a blank but it’s not 230 grains and 40 grains is not way lower than a live round because that is what the live round is. If we’re speculating, let’s speculate with real numbers.
Either way, this death is tragic and unnecessary. A lot of people are going to be dealing with demons for a long time.

No doubt Drumpf and all the ammosexual supporters are going to rub this in Baldwin's face forever. The Evangelicals will say it's Baldwin's divine punishment for mocking their chosen one..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

He may have been stellar playing the orange shit-gibbon, but this Cheney impression crossed a line.

This is a shut case according to some on my face feed. > A false flag combined with deep state Hollywood, wrapped into one.
I’m so envious of these types who have all the time to independently research the Wuhan flu, vaccine medical data, masks, and child trafficking. Must be great to be an expert and have all of the answers to everything even when it’s not the obvious one.

I made the mistake of reading the comments on one of the stories, and an alarming, though not surprising number of people are calling for the death penalty (in graphic detail). And they're equally certain that he'll be found guilty of murder, or at least manslaughter, yet also think he'll walk because of some vast liberal conspiracy.

I'm actually seriously Wonder if someone purposefully snuck a real loaded round in there to prove a point based on the safety concerns.

In my armchair, non-expert opinion - It’s more likely that the loaded round was deliberate than a mistake….

Considering the behind the scenes interactions between the crew and the production company sounds to have been quite contentious, I've been thinking the same thing.
