Now, this whirlwind first began when Alec Baldwin was given a “prop” g-un that mistakenly contained live rounds.
Now, this whirlwind first began when Alec Baldwin was given a “prop” g-un that mistakenly contained live rounds.
The sixty-four-year-old was using a g-un prop on the set of the American Western film, Rust, when he fired a round of blanks that k!lled cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, as well as w0unded the director of the film, Joel Souza.
Souza was immediately rushed to hospital where he received treatment for his !njuries.
He was taken to Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center for further examinations.
Hutchins was taken to the University of New Mexico Hospital but died when she got there.
The forty-two-year-old was transported to the location via helicopter but before she could undergo life-saving treatment, she succumbed to her !njuries.
Rust was being filmed at the Bonanza Creek ranch just outside of Santa Fe when the inc!dent occurred on October 21, 2021.

Santa Fe police deputies were called to the scene after Baldwin had misfired the prop during a scene.
Later on, in a statement, the authorities confirmed the details.

As per the Independent, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office said that the pair were sh0t when a prop firearm was discharged by Baldwin, who is the producer and actor for the new film, which, ironically, is about an acc!dental k!lling.
Since the news was made public, some have suggested that Baldwin should be charged with mans|aughter.

“Hopefully Alec Baldwin gets mans|aughter at the very least. But knowing the Democrats and their penchant for protecting cr!minals, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets off with 10 hours of community service… If that,” film producer, Errol Webber wrote.
Others have added that the person in charge of handling props should take the fall…

“Surely whoever was in charge of props would be more likely to face a mans|aughter charge. However, it also sounds like they all had done too many hours on set, maybe the producers should be taken to task for gross negligence? Nuance really isn’t your thing, is it?” another Twitter user replied to Webber.
However, most people are focused on the v!ctims of the tr*gic inc!dent as tributes have been pouring in for Halyna Hutchins, who lost her life as an outcome.

Brandon Bruce Lee wrote: “Our hearts go out to the family of Halyna Hutchins and to Joel Souza and all involved in the inc!dent on ‘Rust.’ No one should ever be k!lled by a g-un on a film set. Period.”

In a statement, he told people that he is “fully co-operating with the police.”
His full statement reads: “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tr*gic acc!dent that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother, and deeply admired colleague of ours.

“I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tr*gedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
Director Joel Souza also spoke out about the tr*gic moment that the sho0ting took place.

He reportedly said that he vaguely remembers Hutchins grabbing her waist before stumbling backward. Hutchins is then said to have complained of a stomach ache.
Over the months that ensued, new information has been shared revealing that there were instances that caused crew members to leave the set even before the fata| sh0t was fired.

As per the Independent, sources revealed that “camera operators and their assistants were frustrated by the conditions surrounding the low-budget film, including complaints about long hours, long commutes and collecting their paychecks… safety protocols standard in the industry, including g-un inspections, were not strictly followed on the Rust set.”
G-un inspections, which should have been made by twenty-four-year-old head armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, were clearly neglected on set…

Which resulted in multiple acc!dental sh0ts being fired by prop g-uns days before Hutchins was sh0t.
According to the Los Angeles Times, sources revealed that complaints about g-un safety on set had been made prior to her de*th as crew members were apparently “concerned about 2 acc!dental prop g-un discharges” just days before.

It turns out, that Baldwin’s stunt double fired 2 live rounds by mistake, after being told there was no live ammunition loaded into the g-un. A crew member told The LA Times: “There should have been an investigation into what happened. There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”
The risk of having g-uns on a movie set has become extremely clear…

He was heard saying in response to a question about the g-un going off: “Well, the trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.”
Of course, Baldwin’s claim has left many people confused…

But a Hollywood we*pons expert, Steve Wolf gave his opinion to TMZ shortly after it aired, and explained that it might have just been Baldwin’s choice of words.
Wolf provided the outlet with a g-un demonstration using a similar style g-un to what Baldwin is said to have used in the inc!dent.
Wolf provided the outlet with a g-un demonstration using a similar style g-un to what Baldwin is said to have used in the inc!dent.
Wolf’s demonstration showed that just a small amount of pressure on the g-un’s trigger could cause it to fire. “Just the slightest amount of even tensing your hand on one of these single actions g-uns is enough to discharge it,” he said. Wolf then added that he thinks Baldwin is saying “he’s not aware of having intentionally decided to sho0t the g-un and this does happen.”
Then, yet another expert weighed on the interview.

Body language expert, Patti Wood, offered her opinion to The Sun as she claimed that Baldwin exhibited “expl0sive” behavior.
Wood claimed that when Baldwin said the trigger wasn’t pulled “it’s expl0sive.”
Wood claimed that when Baldwin said the trigger wasn’t pulled “it’s expl0sive.”
“When he says the trigger wasn’t pulled, it’s expl0sive, meaning that he’s striking down the phrase ‘the trigger wasn’t pulled,’” she said. She also claimed that the way Baldwin said it “striking down on each word” indicts that it is “likely to be true.”
Wood also said that Baldwin showed other behaviors such as eye contact and leaning forward which suggested he was telling the truth.

“Baldwin’s shoulders and his head go forward [as he speaks]. Occasionally, when somebody is lying they would retreat, the shoulders would come back and their head would come back. Instead, he goes forward.”
But, while some people believe what Baldwin had to say, Hayna Hutchins’ family doesn’t as they went on to sue the actor over the sho0ting…
But, while some people believe what Baldwin had to say, Hayna Hutchins’ family doesn’t as they went on to sue the actor over the sho0ting…
A wrongful de*th lawsuit was been filed by Haylna Hutchins’ family. The suit claims the crew failed to treat the we*pon as loaded, which is the number 1 safety rule for any g-un.
The suit also stated: “He released the revolver’s hammer, and — BAM — defendant Baldwin fired the revolver.”
The suit also stated: “He released the revolver’s hammer, and — BAM — defendant Baldwin fired the revolver.”
Despite Baldwin claiming he didn’t pull the trigger. The Hutchins’ lawyer said: “I think it’s clear what happened. Alec had the g-un in his hand, he sh0t it — Halyna was k!lled. The g-un cannot fire unless the trigger is engaged and the hammer is back.”
Matt Hutchins then went on to give his first interview since Halyna’s tr*gic de*th.

And he described his true feelings towards Baldwin.
Matt spoke in an interview with the Today Show with Hoda Kotb.

In the interview, Matt discussed how he felt when he watched Alec Baldwin’s interview. “I just felt so angry,” Matt said in the interview. But, this was after a heartbroken Matt opened up about his gr!ef.
When asked when he misses her the most, he responded by saying:“I saw a picture of her smiling the other day and I just thought… She’ll never smile again.”

“And that’s really hard,” he added. Kotb then asked if it felt like fireworks when he first met Halyna. And he said: “Pretty much. It was pretty magic meeting her,” he said.
Matt had traveled 2,000 miles to Ukraine, where Halyna was from, so that he could propose to her, according to the show.
Matt had traveled 2,000 miles to Ukraine, where Halyna was from, so that he could propose to her, according to the show.
“I like to trust my intuition on matters of the heart,” he said. He had to convince her that it was the right thing to do, but, deep down in her heart, she knew it was, too. Halyna wasn’t just an incredible cinematographer, but an incredible mom, as well. “We certainly expected her to come home and to be with us in her new home,” Matt heartbreakingly told Kotb.
“The production team told me that Halyna had been sh0t,” Matt said responding to Kotb asking how he found out.
“The production team told me that Halyna had been sh0t,” Matt said responding to Kotb asking how he found out.
“My heart sank right away. It’s completely inexplicable to me that it could have happened at that moment. And the first thing I thought, I sat down and I said, ‘I have to get my son,’ because I had to be with him. “I rushed home and on the way decided we had to go to Santa Fe,” he explained. But, when he got there, the doctor detailed what had happened and that tr*gically, Halyna had not survived her !njuries.
“I was heartbroken,” Matt said. “I knew that I had to tell my son right away when I saw him.”
“I was heartbroken,” Matt said. “I knew that I had to tell my son right away when I saw him.”
He didn’t want his son to think they’d be having a fun trip visiting his mom, trying to be as direct and honest with him as he could. Matt then explained that the embrace with Alec Baldwin was a result of the shock they were in. “I was just looking for a way through the storm,” Matt said. But, now, he thinks that the actor has shifted the blame for his wife’s de*th.
“Watching him, I just felt angry,” he admitted.
“Watching him, I just felt angry,” he admitted.
Continuing on, he said: “Just so angry to see him talk about her de*th so publicly in such a detailed way, and then do not accept any responsibility after having just described k!lling her. “It almost sounds like he was the v!ctim. Hearing him blame Halyna in the interview and shift responsibility to others and seeing him cry about it, I just feel like, are we really supposed to feel bad about you Mr. Baldwin?” Matt questioned.
“The idea that the person holding the g-un causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me.
“The idea that the person holding the g-un causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me.
“Every individual who touches a firearm has responsibility for g-un safety. But, g-un safety was not the only problem on that set, there were a number of industry standards that were not practiced and there are multiple responsible parties,” Matt claimed.
“Justice won’t bring Halyna back, but maybe the memory of her will help keep people safe and prevent something like this from happening again,” he said.
“Justice won’t bring Halyna back, but maybe the memory of her will help keep people safe and prevent something like this from happening again,” he said.
On her tombstone, a quote reads: “Her light shapes our lives keep chasing your vision.” Matt decided to use this as an inscription because it “embodies her spirit.”
And now, almost a year after the inc!dent, a conclusion has finally been made by the FBI as to whether they believe Baldwin sh0t the g-un or not.
And now, almost a year after the inc!dent, a conclusion has finally been made by the FBI as to whether they believe Baldwin sh0t the g-un or not.
ABC News reported on Friday that they have acquired a copy of the forensic analysis report.
The shocking report states that the g-un — a .45 Long Colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver — could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.

The g-un “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger,” it said.
Adding that the g-un “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional.”

The FBI al|egedly tested all possible scenarios to see if the g-un would fire without the trigger being pulled, and according to their report, that wasn’t viable.
Obviously, there is still a small possibility that Baldwin’s g-un did malfunction that day…

The FBI reports and experts say otherwise.
Two firearm experts, who were on the set of the movie, commented: “G-uns don’t fire themselves. Alec Baldwin, for all his caterwauling and crocodile tears, pulled that trigger and k!lled Halyna Hutchins.”

Hollywood firearm expert Steve Wolf also commented on the tr*gedy and said: “I’m not aware of any g-un firing itself.”
“The bul|et striking and k!lling that woman came out of the barrel of the g-un pointed directly at her,” Chacon said. “Bul|ets don’t curve. He isn’t in The Matrix. The trigger would still have to be pulled.”

And yet, despite what reports show and experts say, Baldwin still claims he did not pull that trigger. What do you think?
