In a shocking twist, new evidence has uncovered that the infamous gun that fired and killed cinematographer Helga Hootchings may have discharged without anyone even touching the trigger. So, how did it happen? Was it a ghost? Aliens? A very angry squirrel? The possibilities are endless.
Investigators have gone through all possible causes and have come up with the likeliest explanation. They believe that the gun, named “Ol’ Betsy” by its previous owner, was just tired of being cooped up in the prop department and wanted to explore the world. So, it took matters into its own hands – or should we say, chambers – and decided to go on a shooting spree.
According to witnesses, the gun was seen sneaking out of its case and tiptoeing towards the set where the shooting was taking place. It then snatched up some cameras and lights, and proceeded to roam around the set as if it owned the place. The crew, unsure how to react to the rogue firearm, stood frozen and watched as it gleefully fired off shots left and right.
“It was like watching a scene from Toy Story, but with guns instead of toys,” said one witness who requested to remain anonymous. “I mean, who knew guns could be so mischievous?”
Unfortunately, the joyous gunplay turned deadly when Ol’ Betsy, in a fit of excitement, fired a shot at Helga Hootchings that proved to be fatal. The gun, realizing the gravity of its actions, quickly made a run for it and disappeared into the night.
Now, the police are on the hunt to bring the mischievous weapon to justice. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Ol’ Betsy is asked to call the police immediately. Until then, be on the lookout for any suspicious-looking firearms, and remember – guns don’t kill people, rogue guns named Ol’ Betsy do.
