The gun that actor Alec Baldwin fired on set, killing a woman, was handed to him by an assistant director who told him it was safe, court records show.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot in the chest in Thursday's incident on the set of the film Rust.The 48-year-old received emergency treatment for a shoulder injury and was later released from hospital. It noted that Baldwin's blood-stained outfit was taken as evidence along with the gun. Ammunition and other prop weapons were also taken from the set by police.The 63-year-old actor was questioned by law enforcement, but no-one has been charged over the incident.
"My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna," he wrote on Twitter.
Court records? Wait? They’ve been to court already?
Terrible for the rest of the cast of Coronation St
1. By who? 2. Why didn’t he look? 3. Why didn’t anyone look? 4. Who loaded the gun?
Loving all the Twitter lawyers on here
Sounds like he was framed.
It doesn’t matter whether he was told or not …. He should of checked it himself…… totally his fault, due to his negligence someone is dead, I hope they throw the book at him.
There is absolutely zero reason a live gun would be on set
Whatever was said, who was the last person to know the gun was live and did he/she i) hate Alec Baldwin or ii) know who the gun would be pointed at?
Many Americans are familiar with guns (2nd amendment). 30 seconds for whoever is going to fire to open it and check themself before firing. And why, on a film set, would the armoury stock anything other than blank rounds? Many unanswered questions here.
Jail the murderer for life
support thiz please
Actor is not in the position to make sure the round was blank as BBC wrote in this article:head armourer was.If the gun was put in the set long time before Alec came in,it could be difficult to tell coz anyone but Alec&headarmourer could load it that canbe seen lack in management
Why should that matter any way? Why did you aim a warm body? Isn't that appalling Hollywood culture that has top political protection? Remember how these actors grace Dems' conventions endorsing even the most semi-conscious Dems' candidate in history
The appearance of the gun can not be different from each other depending on whether it was loaded or not. You can’t see it from outside of the gun. It is just a matter of difference in the weight of a sigle live bullet.
when,why and by whom the live bullet was set should be investigated. Alec rationally deemed it was empty.Even If he was the last person who touched the gun,he was not in the position to make sure it was not loaded.the gun was checked by whom and when must have loads of evidence.
“Point at someone’s chest” was necessary for filming of the scene!
Actor is not in the position to make sure the gun is safe as BBC wrote in this article:head amourer was.If the empty gun was put in the set long time before Alec came in,it could be difficult to tell coz anyone but Alec&headarmourer could do it,which can be lack in gun management
nothing like gun safety for anti-gun idiots
Well unless deliberately done it's called a accident mistakes happen we all make them some tragic .I'm sure in life there been other tagic things Chernobyl ,fukishima .
They need to make a film about the making of the film. Columbo classic
From Rachel Maddow. So many safety procedures bypassed
She is/was in the position to make sure it was empty! Alec rationally had right to deem it empty coz it’s crew’s responsible “It names a head armourer - the crewmember responsible for checking firearms -in her twenties and had recently served in that role for only the first time”
Not an actor’s responsibility. It’s just a prop to them. That’s why there are safety people on set.
No. Actor is not, whatsoever, in the position to make sure the gun is empty as BBC wrote in this article, there was a personnel who was responsible to make sure its safety which means it was empty.
Live bullet could not be set to the gun by itself. So when the live bullet was set and by whom should be answered. Alec is a political figure who was once seen as a GOP presidential candidate.He can be a target. But unfortunately, everything should be on the table to make sure.
The gun also mis fired twice that week....and the crew complained about it, Something weird going on here.
If he was told it was dangerous he’d be in big trouble now
How horrible!!!
An extremely sad, tragic and devastating incident
VWAZ TOWL’D DAT DA GUWN VWAZ ZSAYFE 🔫😳
Can anyone explain to me how in this day and age you would even need a gun loaded or not on set with all the special effects kicking about these days? I call foul play
Alec Baldwin has treated people horribly for simply having a different political view. He’s made vile remarks and made fun of a former president to foment division and hate. Because of this, we know Baldwin is a bad guy and has little respect for other peoples well being.
Guns don’t kill people…..right.
Immaterial
OMG!
