In a statement submitted to the New Mexico court, Souza, 48, described the moment the firearm went off.
He told police he saw Hutchins"complaining about her stomach and grabbing her midsection" before she"began to stumble backwards and she was assisted to the ground". He also confirmed to investigators he heard the film's assistant director, Dave Halls, yelling"cold gun" before handing the weapon over to Baldwin, meaning the firearm should have been empty.
Asked how Baldwin handled the firearm, Russell said the actor"had been very careful" and recalled an earlier instance when Baldwin"made sure it was safe and that a child wasn't near him when they were discharging a firearm during that scene".
