The head electrician on the Rust movie set who held dying Halyna Hutchins in his arms has sued Alec Baldwin, rookie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant director Dave Halls over 'severe emotional distress' after the fatal shooting and revealed that the scene did not call for Baldwin to fire the gun.
-snip-
In a bombshell line, the lawsuit also revealed that the scene Baldwin was doing did not call for him to pull the trigger. The script supposedly directed the actor to draw the gun and point it in the general direction of the camera.
However, 'the scene did not call for Defendant Baldwin to shoot the Colt Revolver,' the document stated.

“Defendant Baldwin owed a duty to Plaintiff and other crew members and actors on the Rust set to handle the Colt Revolver provided to him by Defendant Halls with reasonable care and diligence for the safety of Rust’s cast and crew. The duty called for Defendant Baldwin to double-check the Colt Revolver with Defendant Halls upon it being handed to him to ensure it did not contain live ammunition. This duty further called for him to handle the Colt Revolver as if it was loaded and to refrain from pointing it at anyone.”
“Defendant Baldwin breached his duty to Plaintiff when he failed to verify that the Colt Revolver was “cold” upon receiving it from Defendant Halls. Defendant Baldwin further breached this duty when he pointed the Colt Revolver at Ms. Hutchins, Mr. Souza, and Plaintiff while rehearsing his role in the subject scene and pulled the trigger of the Colt Revolver, a real gun, and shot Ms. Hutchins and Mr. Souza.”
I told you the dumb fat libtard was playing with guns. 🤪
He didn’t just pull the trigger, he cocked it first, then blasted her in the chest.
smells worse than alec.
Was the shooting filmed?
He should be held without bail. He has the means and is a flight risk.
He is a flight risk. For sure.
AB is screwed. The civil suits will ruin him.
My call is an inadvertent slip fire.
He cocked the gun and pulled the trigger and blasted her in the chest.
If he was practicing a fast draw, cocking it is part of the draw.
“...an inadvertent slip fire...”
-
How do you define that?
It could have been a negligent trigger fan. Baldwin is clueless.
A lesser person would already be behind bars.
Do the honorable thing Arec.
He drew from a shoulder holster.
Not bringing the hammer to full cock and having your thumb slip off it.
Alec Baldwin joined the ranks of fellow method actors Ted Bundy and Chucky Manson.
This case probably goes nowhere. I am pretty sure New Mexico is like most jurisdictions in limiting “bystander” claims like this to close family members of the victim.
