Alec Baldwin Requested Larger Gun Before Fatal Shooting on 'Rust' Movie Set, Police Say
Newsweek ^ | 12/16/2021 | AILA SLISCO

Actor Alec Baldwin "requested a bigger gun" before the incident that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and director Joel Souza injured on the set of the movie Rust in October, police said.

An investigation of the deadly shooting recently revealed that Baldwin had discussed his choice of weapon with Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed via email, according to an affidavit from Detective Alexandria Hancock, which was included in a search warrant issued to acquire Baldwin's cell phone on Thursday.

"Alec said since they were in rehearsal, he assumed he had an empty gun, therefore when he shot the gun, Haylena [sic] was right in front of him," Hancock wrote. "Alec described the gun to be a 'period' Colt. He said there were emails transferred back and forth between Hannah and him where she showed him different styles of guns."

"He said he requested a bigger gun, and she also showed him different styles of knives for the production," added Hancock. "

Have said from the beginning that I bet he picked out the gun.

He co-wrote the script. And RUST is about a man who accidently kills someone.

His dad taught riflery for years and he was a Marine. I'm betting that dad had a nice gun collection and I'm betting Dad (who Alec said he was REAL close to) took him to the shooting range when Alec was young.

I'm also betting Dad told him lotsa stories and lectured him to no end about gun safety.

Feels no guilt?? Alec is a sick puppy....of his own doing.

The Santa Fe police said they have MUCH MORE evidence against Baldwin that they are holding back for now.

They said they were only providing the minimum amount of evidence for this search warrant request.

Everyone ran with the BS from his PR team.

And they’ll fall it next time, and the time after that.

The Media runs things,

Look at the reactions they created from their J6 Coverage as opposed to what they generated from the Holy BLM fires.

Danny Vermin needs some instruction on gun safety, just like Alec Baldwin.

That would be the worst thing he could do as that would be nearly admitting he knew he lied and was covering it up. Those emails exist on the other end ;-).

Answer: “Baldwin lied when he said that he had no input into selecting the weapon he used to blast the cinematographer in her chest and kill her.”

Question: What must have happened after Halyna Hutchins rejected Alec Baldwin’s advances?

Yeah...Alec Buttwind? So who put the round in the firearm? Why hasn’t this been investigated? Maybe they know Buttwind did it.
