The assistant director on the set of 'Rust,' where Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, previously allowed an unsafe working environment on productions, prop maker who worked with him says.

"There is absolutely no reason that gun safety should be ignored on set, even when it is a non-firing prop firearm," Goll said.

On the set of"Into the Dark," Halls"did not feel the same" and neglected to hold safety meetings or make announcements prior to the appearance of a firearm on set, Goll added. "The only reason the crew was made aware of a weapon's presence was because the assistant prop master demanded Dave acknowledge and announce the situation each day," she said.

"The anthology series was a 'side letter' agreement ... that allowed for lesser working conditions, no true jurisdiction over covered union work, aka non-preferential hiring and what amounts to poverty wages for the crew," she added.Baldwin, 63, who is known for his roles in"30 Rock,""The Hunt for Red October" and his impression of former President Donald Trump on"Saturday Night Live," has described the killing as a"tragic accident.

David Douglas and Alicia Victoria Lozano reported from Los Angeles; Yuliya Talmazan reported from London.

You have a problem w/a delayed press conference on Baldwin while they investigate, but no problem w/Biden being MIA taking questions at press conferences & a no show at the open border. You're a joke.
