[Crime Stories with Nancy Grace] Screen Star Alec Baldwin Deadly Shooting: WHAT HAPPENED?

by

The investigation into the shooting of two people on the set of Alex Baldwin’s movie ‘Rust’ continues. Director of photography Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza injured.

Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled “cold gun.”

“Cold gun” is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.

Reports have surfaced that the weapon was used for target practice by crew members that morning.
