More details have emerged from the fatal accident involving Hollywood star Alec, a prop gun 'loaded with a live round' and tragic cinematographer HalynaHutchins

The gun used by Alec Baldwin in a fatal shooting accident on a film set was handed to him by an assistant director, legal documents have shown.

While a police warrant has uncovered details of the moments leading up to the fatal accident – and the names of an armourer and assistant director have been revealed via a call sheet from the film. They also report that Mr Halls shouted “Cold gun!” to signify that the weapon would be safe to use on set, before handing the prop to Alec.

They report: “The warrant says the assistant director didn't know the gun was loaded, but it doesn't mention who actually loaded the gun.” Halyna was flown to University of New Mexico Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead when she arrived. Further reports have revealed a large number of unionised crew walked out on the film a day before the accident due to disputes over work conditions – and were "replaced by locals".

Alec Baldwin was told prop gun was safe before fatal shooting | JOE.ieNeither Alec Baldwin nor the assistant who handed him the gun knew it was loaded before the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set. Always treat a gun as live and why did he fire it since he wasn’t an actor and the person he killed was the person behind a camera, he should be charged with negligent homicide, and anyone around guns wether blanks or live should not point them at anyone thats common sense

Alec Baldwin 'fully cooperating' with police after cinematographer fatally shot with prop gunAlec Baldwin said he is 'fully cooperating' with police and is in touch with Halyna Hutchins' husband, 'offering my support to him and his family'. That would be an awkward conversation. Not a fan of Baldwin, but this was clearly an accident that was not his fault and he has to live with this for the rest of his life. I feel sorry for him. There is a case to answer! Baldwin was handed a fully loaded gun using real ammo.
