Chilling new details about Alec Baldwin’s fatal movie mishap emerged Monday — from the on-set medic who futilely tried to help save cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ life.
“Are we rehearsing?” medic Cherlyn Schaefer asked after hearing an unexpected “loud shot” on the set of the Western film “Rust” on Thursday, according to an injury report she filed and which was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.
“Because ‘fire in the hole’ was not called,” Schaefer said.
Schaefer then heard someone say “medic emergency,” and she dashed to the part of the set where filming was supposed to start up again after lunch, the Journal said.
There, she found Hutchins, 42, with a gunshot wound to the torso.
Schaefer ordered crew members to apply pressure to the cinematographer’s injury and call 911, then checked for the victim’s vital signs and began to give her oxygen through a mask while waiting for EMTs to arrive at the scene, the report said.
Hutchins was taken to UNM Hospital in Albuquerque, where she was pronounced dead.
Schaefer wrote, “something was shot from a prop gun” on the section of the medic’s report that asked for a “detailed cause” of the incident.
Alec Baldwin in Rust Alec Baldwin was inadvertently given a real loaded gun. Instagram The tragic shooting came after Baldwin was inadvertently given a real loaded gun by Assistant Director David Halls, according to a search warrant obtained by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. The weapon was supposed to have blanks in it.
Halls, rookie movie-set armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and Baldwin were all known to have handled the weapon before the fatal shooting, according to the warrant.
According to the warrants, Baldwin was rehearsing a scene where he was due to pull the gun while sitting in a church pew and point...

I wonder if there might be an SNL parody where Donald Trump plays Alex Baldwin. “Oh, it’s loaded?”
Armed in church ... would probably do away with those overly long sermons.
He did in El Dorado.
As more details trickle in, it’s becoming apparent they ran this shooting location like you would expect from some 3rd rate high school production.
If he was negligent and crashed his car and killed someone, he would be charged with manslaughter. I see the same level of culpability here. Someone died due to your negligence and you did not premeditate killing them.

They keep recycling the same things,. I don’t want to hear anymore until charges are brought and see that smug snotty Socialist cry. I have little sympathy for him because I know had this happened to a decent Conservative he would be mocking him on Saturday Night Live.
I read the details.
He was sitting in a CHURCH pew!
Was it a hot or cold pew?
No more Churches in movies.
And no God, either.
We will fix the World’s problems, yet.
“The questions are, why was there a live rounds on the set? Who purchased the ammo and brought it to the set?”
Incorrect. The only question is “who pulled the trigger?”

“Were the union folks on set at the time?.....”
The union workers according to what I read left a few hour before and local non-union workers had arrived. The union workers were pissed. Their national union has been in negotiations with producers . Job safety and long hours have been two hang-up issues.
I administered a union contract for a few years for my (industrial) company many years ago. Often at contract negotiation time we were subject to acts of sabotage and vandalism. Yes, the shooter is guilty, but the pistol could have been loaded with a live round meant to scare the producers, but killed instead. - just some thoughts based on past experiences.
