Baldwin claimed last week that Gutierrez Reed ordered him not to double-check that the revolver had no live bullets in it, saying “it was her job to check the gun – not his.”
“An actor cannot rule that a gun is safe. That is the responsibility of other people on the set,” Baldwin said in legal papers filed Friday in which he denied any responsibility for shooting Hutchins.
He insisted that every single mistake leading to the Oct. 21 shooting on the New Mexico set was “performed by someone else.”
Because of COVID-19 safety protocols (set up by production for which Alec is a part of), she was not on set and he was given the gun by someone else. Once again Covid safety backfires.
A gun is always loaded.
