The firearm is either pointed away from the camera 20-30 degrees either side or if directly at camera you would use a remote to pull focus and pan up/down, side to side.
A lot of Cinematographers have their own "camera package" that they bring along and are paid a fee for. When the crew walked off the production I figure someone took the remote package with them.
It sounded like the shot being setup was looking down the barrel of the gun. Whether a blank was going to be fired during the scene I don't know but this trial and the outcome is going to change the usage and handling of firearms on set. I can guarantee that.
