I mean, f this guy. Anything I can do to break this prick permanently, I'm going to do it. Every inch of this is karma.

"THIS is the horror 911 call made after Alec Baldwin shot dead Halyna Hutchins on set..."

The panicked call, made by the film's script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, reveals how the team asked for help "immediately" after the shooting ordeal.

In the footage obtained by TMZ, the woman can be heard telling operators: "We've had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. "We need help immediately."

While on the 911 call, the script supervisor then appears to speak to someone else with her as she begins "placing the blame" of the loaded gun on another crew member.

She said: "he's supposed to check the guns, he's responsible," before the operator then asks more questions.

The gun that was fired was one of three laid on a cart by the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the gun from the cart, believing it was unloaded, and brought it inside to Alec, who was filming a scene, the warrant says.

It's not clear at this time how many rounds were fired.

Rust's script supervisor, Mamie Mitchell, said she was standing next to Hutchins when she was shot.

The gun that went off and other prop guns and ammunition were taken in as evidence, as well as Alec's blood-stained costume, the warrant says.

According to the accounts of people familiar with the set, Thursday's deadly accident was not the first time there were safety issues at the New Mexico film location, Deadline reports.

At least one previous incident involved a prop weapon misfiring, one source told the outlet.

"A gun had two misfires in a closed cabin," the source said. "They just fired loud pops - a person was just holding it in their hands and it went off."

Hours before Thursday's fatal accident, seven of the film's camera crew also reportedly stormed off the set because of safety concerns.

One member of the crew wrote about the issues on a private Facebook group, according to Deadline.

"We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of Covid safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety!" the post said. "Poor on-set safety period!"

The staff member alleged that "they brought in four non-union guys to replace us and tried calling the cops on us."

An unnamed prop master who oversaw the gun used in the shooting was a non-union employee who was "just brought in" to replace workers who left, a source told The New York Post."

No one has ruled out Baldwin fired multiple shots, and other stories plainly state he made a surprise draw-fire! during the fatal rehearsal, “I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it, and go, ‘Bang!’”, pointing the revolver directly at Hutchins.

Working film actors have to be, must be, insurable. And that is the one thing Shooter will never be again…if you don't carry both insurance on your leads, and an umbrella for the film as a whole, you're making TikTok videos.
