The prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set had been used by crew members offsite for fun, a new report claims.
The gun, which was fired by Alec Baldwin on the set of the movie “Rust,” may have even been loaded with live rounds when it was used for what was essentially target practice, TMZ reported.
Multiple sources connected to the production of the film told TMZ that the gun was fired at off-the-clock gatherings – which could explain how a live round found its way into the gun’s chamber.
Another source who was on set told the outlet that when cops arrived they found live ammo and blank rounds stored in the same area, where the fatal mix-up could have occurred.

THAT is hilareous!
And to do that now-a-days is a degeneration of American culture down the slippery slope toward decadence.
Or just an impulsive decision by a young adult. Doesn’t have to wear it all the time.
Heh. “Low Budget” by the Kinks:
“Art takes time, time is money
Money’s scarce and that ain’t funny
Millionaires are things of the past
We’re in a low budget film where nothing can last
Money’s rare there’s none to be found
So don’t think I’m tight if I don’t buy a round...”
If only someone HAD NOT bought a “round”.
If I had borrowed a gun to go shoot for fun with my own ammo, in today’s market, I for sure would have made sure I didn’t leave any extra rounds laying around for the next guy.
Since he's also the producer, I don't think he'll get off scott free but you never know with our current justice system.
I agree. He is 100% culpable. He isn’t the victim in this. He create the whole mess. He made it. He is responsible.
Complacency kills.
