The weapon was to be safe

Before Thursday’s tragic incident during the filming of Rust, Baldwin received information from a crew member that the pistol from which he would shoot is not dangerous. According to world media, the published records of investigators submitted to the court prove this. However, the weapon contained a sharp charge. The Los Angeles Times described in an article that several film participants had previously complained about working conditions, including non-compliance with safety standards.

The director who gave Baldwin a firearm before the fateful moment was assistant director Dave Halls, the AP agency writes. He allegedly came out of the building where it was filming at the time, took the prop from the cart, and then announced that the pistol was not dangerous. “Cold gun!” “Cold weapon!” cried Halls in film slang according to the official record. So, without direct physical contact, she shouldn’t have hurt anyone.

Fatal sharp charge

When Baldwin pulled the trigger, he hit cameraman Halyna Hutchins in the chest, who was injured after being transported to the hospital. The 48-year-old director Joel Souza, who was behind Hutchins, also ended up in the hospital, but he was fired after a shoulder treatment from the care of doctors. In his first statement since the tragic incident, Souza expressed deep sadness at the loss of his friend and colleague.

“She was kind, full of life and incredibly talented,” He said Hutchins was helping him improve. The director did not describe the tragic incident and his injuries. But he thanked him for all his kindness and offer of help. Investigators have also heard Baldwin’s witnesses, but police have not yet arrested or accused anyone.

New information about the tragic moment was summarized in a request submitted by detectives to the Santa Fe court in connection with the shooting. According to the BBC news website, the police inform in it that they took a bloodied Baldwin costume, ammunition, an incriminated weapon and other props from the crime scene. Three guns were allegedly prepared during the shooting on Thursday, and according to the police, it was not immediately clear how many shots were fired on the spot.

The employees allegedly had reservations about safety

The independent western Rust was filmed at the famous Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Even before the cameraman’s death, low-budget production ran into problems, according to three informed Los Angeles Times sources. Several members of the staff reportedly had reservations about working conditions and access to security, with at least one of the cameramen allegedly complaining last weekend about working with weapons.

Two witnesses to the newspaper described an incident last Saturday in which Baldwin’s doubler accidentally fired a gun twice, although he was equally assured earlier that the prop was not loaded. “An investigation should have followed correctly, as it actually happened,” stated one of the unnamed sources. “It was supposed to be investigated,” said a member of the film crew.

“We didn’t have any safety training. We didn’t get any guarantees that it wouldn’t happen again. They wanted everything to be fast, quick, quick.” he added. In addition, the cameramen and their assistants were frustrated by the poor filming conditions. These included long working hours, long commutes and waiting to be paid, three unnamed people familiar with the situation told the Los Angeles Times.
