so far, we have been getting some new details from an affidavit that s been released about the evidence that was gathered on that location and a little bit of the rough timeline. we understand that the head armorer, that is a person in charge of prop weapons on any film set, placed three weapons on a tray outside of a structure where on thursday alec baldwin and the rest of the film crew were either rehearsing or filming. we understand that the assistant director picked up one of the prop weapons, walked it inside the structure, handing it to mr. baldwin, shouting, cold gun, which in the industry means that it should not have had any live rounds. unfortunately, something terrible followed. we understand, according to the affidavit, mr. baldwin fired the weapon. that is when this fatal shooting took place. now, alec baldwin was wearing western-style clothing. again, this was for an 1880 period piece film. police say the filming appeared to be stained with blood. they confiscated that
their investigation. and we know from sheriffs that authorities have been combing every inch of that location, that film set. they ve been interviewing witnesses. they ve gathered electronic material, any film of iphones, ipads. anything that could help them piece together exactly what took place that fateful thursday afternoon. lucy kafanov, cnn, albuquerque, new mexico. reporter: rust cast member hayes hargrove told cnn he had no direct knowledge of the events that led to halyna hutchins death, but he said movie sets by nature are dangerous environments. he also said a bright, striking fierce mother was killed and alec baldwin s life is forever ruined. we ve seen the photos of alec baldwin appearing distraught over the death of halyna hutchins, and although the shooting was an accident, one legal analyst says that he may face legal liability over the
this was organized by the union representing film and television employees. a lot of folks know firsthand what happens on film sets and so many here are affected by this one death, because, again, this is a close-knit community, where people one know another. they re brothers and sisters, as one location manager told us, who was very much impacted by this tragic killing, even though she wasn t on set, she knew almost everyone in the room, she says. take a listen. i just hope all of this talking does something. i hope that my talking you gets amplified and we get the changes that we need for a safe set. i m sure you know we were about to strike this past monday for safer conditions and if the world didn t believe us about what s going on, maybe they believe us now. reporter: people should be able to go home after performing their job. yeah. a child should have a mother. reporter: again, a lot of unanswered questions.
