A few hours before the tragic killing of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film ‘Rust’ by actor Alec Baldwin, some film operators had abandoned their stations to protest the working conditions. The Los Angeles Times reports. The protest, we read on the newspaper’s website, “was born due to the conditions linked to the budget cut”. Meanwhile, the investigation into the killing of the director of photography continues. At the center of attention are 24-year-old Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the gunsmith who allegedly prepared the gun with which Baldwin killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza, and assistant Dave Halls, 31, who delivered the weapon. to Baldwin stating that it was “cold”, in other words that it was loaded with blanks. Halls, the report by Officer Joel Cano of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office reads, “did not know the weapon was loaded with live bullets.” Neither ‘Gutierrez Reed nor’ Halls are currently accused, a spokesman for the sheriff said.
Two more gun incidents on set prior to Hutchins’ death
Not only. As Repubblica writes, “there had already been protests precisely because of problems related to safety: there would have been two or three gun accidents on the set. One had involved Baldwin’s stunt double, found himself firing real shots, fortunately without hitting none. Nevertheless, no reinforcement of controls had been implemented “. And now Baldwin risks legal consequences for the role of producer as well.
