Alec Baldwin Was Rehearsing Pointing Gun at Camera, Affidavit Says
New York Times ^ | Oct. 24, 2021 | Simon Romero and Julia Jacobs

Posted on 10/24/2021 9:13:42 PM PDT by conservative98

The director of “Rust” told investigators that he had been standing beside the film’s cinematographer as the actor Alec Baldwin sat in a wooden church pew, rehearsing a scene in which he draws a gun and points it at the camera lens, according to an affidavit released Sunday night. The director, Joel Souza, said he then heard what “sounded like a whip and then loud pop.”

Mr. Souza saw the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, grabbing her midsection and starting to stumble backward. Then he noticed he was bleeding from his shoulder. He and Ms. Hutchins had been shot by the lead actor in their film.

The new details emerged on Sunday night when the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office released an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant to seize everything from camera memory cards to bone fragments and firearm discharge residue from the production site outside Santa Fe where the shooting took place on Thursday.

According to the affidavit, Mr. Halls grabbed the revolver from a gray, two-tiered tray set up by Ms. Gutierrez-Reed. Mr. Halls handed the gun to Mr. Baldwin and shouted, “cold gun,” which on a film set typically refers to an unloaded firearm.

While setting up the scene, the crew had to reposition the camera because there was a shadow. Mr. Russell told the detective that Mr. Baldwin was explaining how he was going to draw the gun, pulling it out from the holster, when the firearm discharged.

Mr. Souza, the director, told the detective that because the crew had been setting up the scene when the gun discharged, the incident had not been filmed.

After the firearm was discharged, Mr. Russell told the detective he “remembered Joel having blood on his person, and Ms. Hutchins speaking and saying she couldn’t feel her legs.”

If it saves even one life guns should be outlawed, even fake guns.

The most redeeming thing Saturday Night Live could do is have Trumpster come on and portray Baldwin. It would improve their ratings and give them some redemption.

Why the hell was a live round allowed anywhere near that firearm in the first place? That’s what needs to be answered.

I found this on another website. I can't get through the NYT paywall.
The affidavit also includes notes from an interview with Mr Reid Russell, a cameraman who was standing near Hutchins and Mr Souza when the gun discharged. Read more at https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/arts/baldwin-shooting-details.html

I’m betting they can’t even get their stories straight not that it matters. The law authorities in charge seem to have lost control of this investigation.

Unless there’s film of the incident we will never know the true story. All wagons are being circled.

The armorer made a mistake.

Mr. Hall never checked the firearm, but pronounced it “cold”

Baldwin never checked the firearm, but assumed it was “cold”

Negligent homicide.

This report contains information new to me: it was a cross draw. So maybe the victims were standing to Baldwin’s left, not in the intended line of fire, and he discharged the gun as he was in the act of drawing?

Does “I didn’t know it was loaded” work nowadays?

I read there was suppose to be a screen between the shooter and the camera...just in case.

“When the gun discharged”....translates to....”when he pulled the trigger”.
