last thursday, baldwin accidentally shot and killed 42-year-old cinematographer hutchins on the new mexico set. a search warrant indicates that the assistant director handed him a gun that was believed to be cold or not loaded. when baldwin fired it, he hit hutchins in the chest killing her. he was reportedly fired from the movie when a gun unexpectedly discharged injuring a sound member. halz was remorseful for that incident. trial attorney jeff harris who handled two wrongful death suits on film sets including midnight rider and the show the walking dead says he, like everyone else, wonders how a live round got on to the baldwin set. it s still not clear that s what we re talking about because, you know, there s really no reason why a live bullet would ever be on a movie set. so generally speaking, when they re referring to live rounds, they re talking about blanks. but on the other hand, i can t
lot of guns are fired, on the mayor of east town they decided that every fine of every gun would be all cgi, it was all special effects. they didn t use prop guns loaded with blanks. they maybe lost the authentic recoil, and alive muzzle flash that they would ve cut from using plants, but they decided that it wasn t worth the risk. they added in all of that after the facts, and a lot of productions do that now. but, a lot of movie and tv says study do use real sets. the prague massacre will annals all the props, if there are guns been used, that person can sometimes be assisted by and it s a specialist, an arm or, someone who specializes in weaponry for film in tv sets. as you can imagine, the entertainment industry has very strict rules for using firearms onset. this is from some of the industry wide labor commission, these are some of the rules they put out about guns on set.
discharges, this is super unsafe. and look, there is so much that we do not know, we have no idea when or where or why the breakdown in gun safety protocol happen, we don t know the basis of what was fired out of the gun, we do know there was trouble and said preceding the incident, as recently as the morning before it happened. with crewmembers complaining about safety conditions on set, including around that gun. we don t know if that played an immediate role at all, and how things fell apart here, fatally. what else can we know at this point about exactly what happened here. we ve got an expert on hand to help us out. that s next, stay with us. that s next, stay with us. when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast heartburn relief in every bite. crunchy outside, chewy inside. tums, tums, tums, tums tums chewy bites (man 1) oh, this looks like we re in a screen saver. (man 2) yeah, but we need to go higher. (man 1) higher. (man 2) definitely higher.
i mean, from what i am looking at now, i believe that the use of live ammo with bullets in it and bringing that to movie set is absolutely unconscionable, and putting that in the hands of an actor, and not telling the, after under no circumstances should you point this at, anyone i m pretty sure that alec baldwin, had he been, told but not of pointed the gun at anybody. and they weren t watching to see if he was following directions. so, you can have all the safety meetings you want, but if people are gonna break the rules, it can be dangerous. it s very simple common sense, don t bring live animal on sets, don t point guns at people that you do not want to hurt. steve wulf yeah? steve wulf, a professional stunt, man film weapons safety expert, spelling this out in a way that is very clear.
incident. and it gets more worrying, nbc news is reporting that among the safety concerns were concerns over the got prop gun involved in this incident, the same gun, had reportedly misfired multiple times, previously on the set. the l.a. times has further reporting on this tonight, a quote from what they just posted, baldwin s stunt double accidentally fired two rounds out of the gun on saturday, after being told that the gun was cold, lingo for a weapon that doesn t have any in ammunition, including blanks. that s according to to crack crew members who witnessed the episode to talk to the l.a. times about it, one crew member saying there should have been an investigation into what happened, there is no safety meetings, no assurance that it wouldn t happen again. all they wanted to do was rush. again, according to the l.a. times, one colleague was so alarmed by the prop gun misfires, that he sent a text message to the unit production manager saying, quote, we ve now had three accident
