I will wait for further info to come to a conclusion but for now it looks like he shot two people, intentionally...
The round passed through the first person and struck the second. Both were standing at the camera filming Baldwin as he fired. It's a common shot - that dramatic effect of a gun being pointed at the audience. In movies with bigger budgets, the camera filming such a shot is remotely controlled and no one is near it. I don't know who, in their right mind, would stand in the path of a weapon being fired.
