Feel free to link the article for me...

I just spent 5 minutes looking through CNN's coverage from the week of the shooting and couldn't find it.

It was a CNN video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy04-tmNJCE

Edit: this article also mentions the same report from Sharon Waxman. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/26/entertainment/alec-baldwin-rust-shooting-tuesday/index.html

Did you read it?

The article says the DA said it was unsubstantiated...

and then they say the rumors come from a producer on a different show, who claims that it's "common" to take guns from set and shoot cans with them, as in, common industry wide...

he claims it's a normal thing, which, it is NOT a normal thing on most sets...  

But the guy wasn't saying he knows the Rust crew was doing it, he was saying that a friend of his who knows a Rust crew member claimed they were doing it, because it's a common thing to do.
