New evidence in investigation of fatal shooting on set of Alec Baldwin movie 'Rust'

Somehow they made 4 John Wick movies with thousands of rounds fired and nobody actually died.

The guy who made John Wick was actually Brandon Lee's stunt double on the Crow aswell. I would assume he would be a super conscious of gun safety on his set.

Either way bb. If you're going to handle a firearm. regardless if so and so told you it was empty... It has always been taught and told. check the fire arm to see if it is loaded. If you don't know the ammunition type... it takes 1 seconds to slide a bullet into your hand from the weapon.... Every person on set that handled the firearm, and yes the armorer should be in jail. Not just the dip shit armorer. He was production admin. His responsibility on set to make sure the armorer was even qualified lol. Dumbest thing I've ever heard.. taking someone's word, and pulling the trigger.... I've handled firearms since I was 8. I'm 32. baffling to me..

@@sherbeto1319 Oh, now the armorer is responsible... What about your previous comment? What you say doesn't make any sense. It's not a shooting range, it should be a movie set with movie props! It's not the actor's job to be a weapon expert to check the props, nor the director who told the actor to shoot. Just as an actor who is asked to press a button to arm a movie prop bomb doesn't have to check the electrical circuit and make sure it's a fake explosive... It's completely stupid. The problem was the incompetent armorer who used the prop guns to shoot real ammo and had live ammunitions all over her truck. Those guns shouldn't even be able to shoot projectiles.

[@stovepipe1015]

Whats odd to me is, the gun was supposed to totally empty, not even blanks, which makes it way more implausible, as opposed to having a live round mixed in with others.

Either way. As a guy who has held guns. You can feel added weight when its loaded. Not only that he was using a revolver. How in the hell do you not see all them 6 shots in that cylinder before pulling the trigger? Especially when he pulled the hammer back? Never take someone's word when they hand you a weapon, and say that its not loaded... Even if they're a "professional expert"... It becomes your responsibility once in your hands.

[@jansean2497]

Just to be clear: An actor does not have the legal or professional responsibility to have any working knowledge of weapons handling, marksmanship, or gun safety and maintenance. Their job is to perform credibly with a prop gun. It isn’t your responsibility to check a prop gun if you are an actor - your job (again) is to take the prop gun from the assistant director, (who is the set manager), and rehearse and perform your acting part with it. The First A.D.’s union job is to clear the gun from the amorist when it’s checked into the safe on set, and clear check it again before handing it to the actor. Before those two checks, the armorist is responsible for being in possession of the prop gun, cleaning and maintaining it as well as safety checking that it is empty of blanks and personally delivering it to the safe cart on set and signing off with the First A.D. Alec Baldwin had every right and even a responsibility to rely on the paid professionals and managers to deliver a safe prop gun to him to perform with. If you don’t agree with this industry wide standard, maybe lobby to get some laws passed to ban film crews from turning real guns into prop guns, but the N.R.A would put out a contract on you for it.

[@Andrew-qb8eh]

Gun Safety 101: Treat all guns as if they are loaded and never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. Two simple rules that were not followed by Alec. If he had only followed one of them, the resulting death/injury would have been avoided. The Actors Firearms Safety Guide states: "Treat all guns as if they are loaded and deadly". This is Actor specific, which Alec should be aware of and follow, as he is an Actor. Here is what Arizona Law States: AZ SS 13-1102 A. A person commits negligent homicide if with criminal negligence the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child. The legal definition of "Criminal negligence" in Arizona is given in AZ SS 13-105-10 (d) "Criminal negligence" means, with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense, that a person fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation. Everyone in the chain of custody, from the person who loaded the live round to Alec Baldwin should be criminally charged. If Alec is not charged, this would set a dangerous precedent that would imply if someone says "cold gun" or tells you a gun is empty, you can legally disregard gun safety, even if the result injures or kills someone.

[@IronFreee]

That gun was not supposed to be loaded, they hired an armorer who is supposed to make sure that it's the case. So he wasn't handling a loaded weapon in his mind. The armorer job is to make sure that there's no live rounds on the set. Only fake ammo and blanks. The armorer is the person who give the gun to the actor and tells him if it's cold (fake empty ammo) or hot (blank ammo). In the worst case scenario it should be blank ammo that wouldn't have killed anyone in that situation.

[@davewave2760]

@@IronFreee Wrong, just because other people are negligent, does not excuse your responsibilities. This is why The Actors Firearm Safety Guide and state laws state that all guns should be treated as loaded and deadly.

​@@davewave2760 The gun should only be loaded with blank in the worst case scenario. The job of the armorer is to make sure there can't never be real ammo in the gun.

The fake ammunition look identical to the real ones. That's why the Armorer shouldn't have live ammo. The armorer had live ammo everywhere in the prop truck and immediately sait she F_cked up to the cops.

yup, a bit dumb. i do believe it is possible he has done it unintentionally, HOWEVER, something seems very strange to me in this story... because firstly, the gun was loaded on the right chamber, and secondly, aren't this things taken very carefully in a movie set?! safety wise... it seems a bit strange that this could happen.... someone wanted to kill this woman... the reason why? are they investigating this?

[@davewave2760]

Please read my first post again, especially the part from the Actors Firearm Safety Guide "Treat all guns as if they are loaded and deadly". which is Actor specific. Gun safety is every bodies responsibility according to gun safety, the law, and Firearms Safety Guide specific for Actors. There is a reason for this. Imagine there was a situation where a bad armorer issued 20 loaded guns, nobody else checked, and 20 people are injured/killed, and the armorer is the only one charged. This is why everybody in the chain of custody is responsible.If only the Actor, and no else follows basic gun safety, this tragedy is avoided.

I really don't know what your point was but didn't make alot of sense to me

[@donney-]

Alec doesn't seem that emotional.

Why not the "loader" arrested. Gross negligence at least. What a loser. She should never work again.

At :40 Alec is sitting with the crew while being told the bullet exited the "Back of the left should blade." Everyone there looks distraught, crying, confused. But Alec is sitting like a honey bear ready to get his little knub polished. What a privileged little jerk.

[@jeffrobodine8052]

[@nvg3810]

I’m not at all a fan of Alec Baldwin, but as an actor, he is not criminally responsible for the accidental shooting and death. However, he is part owner of the production company, and therefore shares in both the responsibilities and liabilities that the production company has to ensure safety for all cast and crew on the set. Bottom line is that a videographer, Salyna Hutchins, was killed on the set, by an accidental firearm discharge. Nothing is going to be able to bring her back. However, her family can and should be compensated financially for the loss of her life and pursuant damages. The production company bears that financial responsibility and liability, and has insurance to those effects. The amount of the compensation will need to be adjudicated in civil court. The production company has been fined by a film industry oversight entity for various failures in occupational safety. So, in the civil lawsuits filed by the Hutchins family on the production company and certain of its individual officers, will likely result in award judgements for the plaintiffs (Hutchins). Law enforcement has not yet recommended criminal charges. They are being thorough in their investigation to assess if there is evidence of sabotage or pre-meditated murder. In the meantime, there’s numerous speculations and accusations of negligence and reckless disregard for life safety. Ultimately, the root cause of the accident was a live round of ammunition entering the collection of dummy rounds brought on to the set, and being loaded into the firearm that discharged and killed Salyna Hutchins. Was this an error by the supplier of the dummy ammunition? Unless it can be established with evidence that a live round was accidentally or intentionally introduced into the case of dummy ammo, on the set, the supplier of the dummy ammo will be facing substantial liabilities, both criminal and civil. What responsibilities did the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, have? Just as the production company is responsible for overall safety on the set. The armorer is responsible for overall firearms and ammunition safety on the set. It can be extremely difficult to distinguish live rounds from dummy rounds, but it is the armorer who is on the hook to ensure that dummy rounds are indeed inert, and that only dummy rounds or blanks are loaded into guns used on the set. So, Hannah is at great risk for being found to be criminally negligent, and is civilly responsible no matter what. Armorers don’t earn a lot, but need to buy professional liability insurance. Essentially, the chain of civil law suits will be: 1. Hutchins family suing the production company plus individual officers 2. Production company plus individual officers suing the armorer 3. The armorer suing the ammunition supply company I forecast that criminal negligence will be shared by: 1. The production company and its officers 2. The armorer 3. The ammunition supply company There are lessons-learned for the future that are matters of safe firearms handling protocols and training pertaining to these: 1. Never point any firearm, real or prop, at any person 2. Always ensure that there is a backstop that can stop any projectile that may be fired, accidentally or intentionally, out of the muzzle of any firearm - and a clear path from the firearm to that backstop. Objects inside the bore of a firearm can be accelerated by blanks to velocities high enough to kill. The muzzle blast from blanks can kill at point blank range. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire the gun On #1, accounts are stating that Salyna Hutchins asked Alec Baldwin to point his revolver at the camera. On #2, the bullet that was accidentally fired from Alec Baldwin’s revolver hit and passed through Salyna Hutchins, and then continued on to penetrate the shoulder of an on-set director. On #3, the video footage of Alec Baldwin practicing his draw on the single-action revolver clearly shows him with his finger on the trigger as he is pulling the revolver from inside his jacket. If your finger is on the trigger, and you slip while cocking the hammer, the revolver will discharge.

I blame the armorer 100%.

You should also blame Baldwin for not checking the gun. That is a serious safety violation.

@@steeldriver1776 I know I am late but he wasn't supposed to be handed a "weapon" in the first place, do you check a water gun or bb gun for live ammunition as well, the gun was supposed to be a replica prop gun like every other movie scene, so don't act like he was supposed to enact basic gun safety with a prop that turned out to be a real gun someone irresponsibly gave him, that' like checking the fuel at a gas station to make sure it isn't Coca Cola.

What does MD have to do with your opinion. As a non MD I think they need to have some changes on gun safety on set. There has only been 2 major accidents that I know of in my lifetime so I imagine they are already taking safety pretty seriously. Things can always be improved of course.

[@jansean2497]

@@Andrew-cu3xd I’m betting that an MD might be called on at any time to treat someone injured by gunfire, which is pretty horrific, so an MD probably thinks the stupid sh*t of movies, with all the high strung and sometimes pretentious potential dumbasses on set isn’t worth the possibility of firearms accidents.
