baldwin was rehearsing, he was given the gun. before he had it the assistant director had it. it's unclear where the assistant director got it. there's a suggestion he picked it off the table. in that case it should have been in the anderson of the armorer and unclear if she kept a chain of custody on the gun and certainly didn't have control at the time. there were at least three or people who had the gun before it went off and i think that makes this whole investigation interesting. griff: when we hear a report the armorer, the woman who is sort of the weapons specialist on the set said she really doesn't know how a live round could be in the gun. that really is hard to process. >> well, it suggests that she didn't-- she didn't know what she was doing. if you don't have an answer how to happened, if you had a better answer, which is i kept the gun here, it was in a safe, it was on me, no possible way it could have got there. that's the better answer. if you say you don't know how, the procedures weren't in place, and that's how we got in this tragic situation. >> i would thi
