Seconds after being shot by Alec Baldwin, cinematographer Halnya Hutchins told a boom operator on the “Rust” movie set, “That was no good. That was no good at all.” Hours later, she was pronounced dead.
The haunting final words of the 42-year-old mom, who had been working as the director of photography on Baldwin’s upcoming Western flick, were reported by the Los Angeles Times based on interviews with 14 crew members, emails and text messages.
A few moments earlier, Baldwin had been preparing for a shootout scene inside a church by making sure the camera crew got its angles right for the cross draw with the FD Pietta .45-caliber Colt revolver, the newspaper reported.
“So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it and go, ‘Bang!’” he said as he gripped the holstered handgun, which was supposed to be loaded with dummy rounds, according to the report.

WTF are you talking about.....I said no such thing.
And in case you’re unaware , name calling is a dead giveaway of a weak argument and a dull mind.
The whole production was like that it seems. Normally that just means a B grade movie. In this case, someone’s dead.
...so, some marxist democrats were in an old church on a movie set on a ranch in New Mexico and, knowing almost nothing about guns, they shot and killed a young woman, mother, and fellow crew member.................isn’t that about it???!!!
This just proves Democrats should never be allowed to own a gun and “you can’t fix stupid”.
“I shouldn’t have taken his parking place.”
There is ZERO reason to have live ammo on a movie set. ZERO. Whoever bought it and brought it must be feeling pretty guilty right now...
Well she was Ukrainian and the dems do like to abuse Ukrainians.
There are probably hundreds of examples of real firearms being pointed at a human in the last hundred years of movie making. The Deer Hunter comes to mind. That’s why safety protocols are so important.
Except the bullet that passed through Connolly (an oblong wound in his back proves it was tumbling) wasn’t magic. Or pristine.
I disagree. Baldwin will be charged with manslaughter.
And a pretty good shot
‘Maybe I am misremembering this but I seem to recall at my first gun safety class, I musta been in 4th or 5th grade at the time, the very first class was NEVER EVER POINT A GUN, A FAKE GUN, or even a TOY GUN at anyone.’
Gee, kind of hard to shoot someone with a water pistol without pointing it at them.
I knew not to play with real guns (and yes, my dad gave me .410 when I was 9), but when we played cowboys we shot the hell out of the other guys. Pointed our toy guns right at them. Had firecracker fights too. Bunch of wrong’uns we were.
The article also quotes a witness describing blood pouring from an exit wound. Apparently the bullet (or a good part of it) went right through Ms. Hutchins.
whoops
thought you were the prior guy i was responding to who did say that in post 29
you sounded just like him
Very sad for the young woman, hopefully justice will be served so as to discourage sloppiness in the future.

“I’m surprised anyone even knew where and how to buy ammo.”
Especially the 500 rounds I heard they found there. That cartridge is expensive so who had $1000 for real live ammo lying around for their cowboy movie gun?
Someone with a lot of money, not a disgruntled worker.
I hope they ordered it over the internet and paid with a credit card.
Anyone checking that?
I’ll take Alec for $1000.00
