Although no one died, LAPD officers still arrived at the scene with utmost speed, involving a top Hollywood production. McLain, who had dealt with Martin during the incident at Burbank Middle School, also appeared on set.
McLain sought out his acquaintance Martin first, "What exactly is the situation?"
Martin was just as confused, "I was waiting in the rest area to go on set. The scene being shot was a gunfight, and on the fourth trigger pull, the blank in an actor's pistol turned into a live round."
He pointed at his ear, "You know, I'm a good shot, I can tell the difference."
McLain lowered his voice and asked, "Not a Russian spy?"
Martin thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think so."
He gestured towards the prop department, "My manager Bruce, you know him, Old Cloth knows some of the details and is over there giving a statement."
"Let's go have a look," McLain led the way over.
Martin followed.
