Me dino recalls some advanced USMC training at Camp Lejeune where Marines were actually shooting blanks at each other at close range during 1970. Oh, and there are tons of live rounds for M16s at Camp Lejeune, mind you. But each Marine there visually knew the difference between a live round and a blank round and we personally loaded our weapons. Trainee Private Dino shot close range at privates in my sights and privates shot back at me. Our smoking breaks endangered us more.
After all these years, I can't recall reading or hearing news about a Marine shooting another with a live round thought to be a blank.
That goes for the U.S. Army, too. Navy SEALS also.
Heck, I don't even know anyone who was in the USAF save for yourself, I guess.
My middle name Alvin was my dad's brother and best friend who flew a P-51 that shot down three Italian planes before an ambushing Messerschmidt sent him and his plane last seen diving into the Mediterranean.
Back then the Air Force was but a wing of the Army, though.
Wing, get it? Hardy-har-har-har!
That's so funny me dino almost laughed.
Four service men were in a pub when someone asked them "What would you do if you woke to find a snake in your tent?" The Marine said he'd take his knife slice it up and fry it for breakfast. The Sailor said he'd cut its head off and throw it in the pot for his stew. The solider said he'd use his M-16 and blow it to bits. The airman said he'd call the front desk and ask why is there a tent in my room?

Victim wasn't a choreographer. Poster (saulm78?) is an ignoramus.
As for a plot behind this, the media are probably preparing a story that accuses a Trumper of setting up poor, victim Alec Baldbrain.
What I want to know is who the hell even allowed an actual live round on to the set. It is one thing to be shot, like Bandon Lee by a fake rubber prop bullet, propelled by a blank....but a live round on set is just unbelievable.

Hmmm.....
a FMJ is more likely to over penetrate
that is one reason to use a hollow point to prevent over penetration
not worth my time is that is the level of knowledge shown
That looks like a troll comment from China to incite.
Oh, please. Spare me.
Just after I went through all the trouble vetting the story out...all the other outlets started reporting on it...to date, only one caught the choreographer error whereas I was only concerned about the core of the story.
