LOS ANGELES, Oct 26 — The assistant director who handed Alec Baldwin the loaded weapon that killed a cinematographer had been sacked from a previous production for gun safety violations, the company said Monday.

Attention has focused on Halls and 24-year-old armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in the wake of the tragedy on the set near Santa Fe, New Mexico. “A number of crew members had taken prop guns from the New Mexico set of the indie Western — including the gun that killed Hutchins — to go ‘plinking,’ a hobby in which people shoot at beer cans with live ammunition,” the website said, citing an unidentified individual with knowledge of the set.The developments came as a narrative of the tragedy emerged from an affidavit submitted by Santa Fe sheriffs as they sought a search warrant.

Souza told investigators he was looking over Hutchins’ shoulder “when he heard what sounded like a whip and then loud pop.”“Halyna began to stumble backwards and she was assisted to the ground,” the affidavit said. “Joel explained that he was bleeding from his shoulder and he could see blood on Halyna.”

“ yelled ‘Cold Gun,’ indicating the prop gun did not have any live rounds,” it said. “ did not know live rounds were in the prop-gun.”The film’s gaffer — or chief electrician — said he held Hutchins in his arms as she was dying, writing an angry Facebook post which alleges the shooting was a result of “negligence and unprofessionalism.”
