Definitely investigate the chain of custody to see how a live round or other debris got in there, but I think the actor has exactly zero culpability if they're handed a prop weapon to use in a scene and *whoops*, it fires for real. That's gotta be such a headfuck.
I agree I feel bad for him. I'm sure he must feel terrible about the accident. He is listed as the producer and actor. As an actor he is not liable but as producer he is responsible for all the staff on the set. He hired the set armorer and is therefore indirectly responsible for the shooting. Charges could be coming for that.

Anyway, we need to ban all guns before Baldwin kills again!
He was rehearsing a scene. Aiming at the camera which was manned by the cinematographer (woman who died) and the director was probably directly behind her and got the bullet after pass-through.
It was also reported that some of the safety staff walked off the set due to repeated mis-fires of the prop guns and probably Baldwin giving them shit.
