Fox News
Actor Michael Massee was also traumatized after he accidentally shot and killed Brandon Lee on the set of "The Crow" in 1993.
But when Massee fired the .44 Magnum revolver, the gunpowder in the blank cartridge ignited a bullet fragment that became embedded in the barrel, propelling it into Lee’s body about 15 feet away at Carolco Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, The Sun reported.
The fragment was apparently part of a dummy shell that became lodged in the barrel, in what is known as a "squib load," during a previous scene without anyone realizing. It struck Lee with virtually the same force as a live round.
