The New Mexico set of the indie Western Rust, where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed Thursday by a prop gun “discharged” by star Alec Baldwin, had been having a myriad of issues, including problems related to safety, before the accident, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation. That included at least one previous incident involving a misfiring of a weapon that was used days before in a scene.
“A gun had two misfires in a closed cabin,” a source told Deadline. “They just fired loud pops – a person was just holding it in their hands and it went off.”

Even before Rust went into production, a number of armorers turned down the gig citing concerns about the budget of the film and the sheer amount of firearms to be utilized, we hear.

When are the Police going to investigate and arrest Baldwin.
The production company of “Rust” is going to conduct an internal review of the murder?
Wait, isn’t Alec one of the producer and main star...sounds legit
/S
“a person was just holding it in their hands and it went off.”
Yep! Baldwin exonerated.
Baldwin to blame it on the gun and the crew who walked out.
I think the NM BI should do the review.
This production is toast.
A woman was shot by Arec Barwin in the stomach and died.
If they were not filming it would be his extreme arrogance to do that.
Just hours before the fatal Thursday accident, in which
Hutchins and director Joel Souza were shot, seven of the
film’s camera crew packed up their personal gear and walked
off the job, citing a wide range of complaints.
Several of those who quit wrote letters of resignation.
Jeez… “internal” safety reviews and planning are supposed to done BEFORE filming begins. Not AFTER a homicide has occurred.
The wounded director knows the details in the moments leading up to the “ accidental discharge/ shooting “
I’m sure Arec is willing to give up 10mil to keep that mouth shut.
BS. If it’s a western style revolver, it has to be cocked. If the trigger is so loose it’ll fire without more pull than the trigger lever weight it shouldn’t have been there, plus where did the live load come from? This pile is steaming horse shitz
For a rabid anti 2a liberal, he sure seems to like to use a lot of guns in his film...and in prior films he’s been in
Charge him with Manslaughter. Let a Santa Fe County jury sort it out.
He’ll get off.
That county went for Biden over Trump 76%-22%.

This whole incident will be swept under the rug faster than Biden can lose his train of thought.
Second degree murder.
“BS. If it’s a western style revolver, it has to be cocked.”
BS. If it’s a western style revolver, it has to be manually cocked by pulling back the external hammer.
So much for all the comments here about shooting slightly away from the camera...no equipment,no camera crew.
She was likely speaking to the director about the work situation and her contract.
"a source told"... "a person was just holding" ... "it went off"... Jeez, C grade undergrad journoliars are getting lazier and lazier as time goes on.
Oh, the irony...
