And, by his own admission he acted contrary to the training he's had - and also contrary to the SAG safety bulletin;Alec didn’t check his weapon, aimed it at two people and fired the gun, killing one. As a producer and main actor on the set he also allegedly ignored firearm safety issues that led up to that point.
My views only based on the recent trial and what has been reported.

In an interview with ABC News in December 2021, Baldwin said he had been trained not to point a gun at anyone and fire. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger,” he said. “That was the training that I had.”
11. FIREARMS & OTHER WEAPONS Treat all weapons as though they are loaded and/or ready to use. Do not play with weapons and never point one at anyone, including yourself.
He pointed a gun at someone.
