'This is super unsafe.' Seven crew members walked off the set of the movie 'Rust' over safety and other complaints, hours before Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer with a gun a crew member said contained no live ammo.
The gun Baldwin used was one of three that Gutierrez had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to the court records. Halls grabbed the firearm from the cart and brought it inside to the actor, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in a search warrant application.
Mitchell, the script supervisor, told The Associated Press she was standing next to Hutchins when the cinematographer was hit. Baldwin, 63, who is known for his roles in “30 Rock” and “The Hunt for Red October” and his impression of former President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” has described the killing as a “tragic accident.” He was a producer of “Rust.”
Production on “Rust” was halted after the shooting. The movie is about a 13-year-old boy who is left to fend for himself and his younger brother following the death of their parents in 1880s Kansas, according to the Internet Movie Database website.
