• My understanding was that the order of events was what the problem was. I thought it was -

    There was a safety issue on set, Baldwin fired that person/team and brought in his own, which resulted in multiple other safety infractions - why the actor was actually down shot from a prop gun (usually it’s staged to prevent that), why a weapon was loaded with live ammo. And with the first safety team being removed seems to be Baldwin decision.

    Note: I’m not certain that this is how it went down, it’s just my memory of the reporting.
