The crew on Baldwin’s movie set were already concerned about gun safety<\/a> before he accidentally shot and killed Hutchins, and the prop master in charge of the firearm that killed her had reportedly just joined the crew after a union walkout.<\/p>\n A search warrant released Friday said that an assistant director \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0430\u043b\u044b 2022 \u043e\u043d\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d<\/a> handed Baldwin a gun loaded with live rounds and indicated it was safe to use in the moments before the fatal shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n The warrant indicated that a single bullet struck Hutchins in the chest, and then struck director\u00a0Joel Souza in the shoulder as he was standing behind her, injuring him, suggesting the bullet traveled all the way through Hutchins’ body.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Unionized workers had walked off the set hours before the fatal shooting, after they complained about long hours, shoddy conditions and another safety incident days earlier involving ‘two misfires’ of a prop weapon.\u00a0<\/p>\n And the yet-unnamed prop master who oversaw the gun used in the fatal shooting was a nonunion worker who was ‘just brought in’ to replace the workers who left over safety concerns,\u00a0a source involved in the movie told the .\u00a0<\/p>\n Unionized employees had been complaining about the fact they had to stay overnight in Albuquerque – an hour’s drive from the set – and not Sante Fe because production wouldn’t pay for their hotels, according to sources cited by The Times and multiple social media posts by film and TV insiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n When they turned up to set to clear their things on Thursday, they found they’d been replaced by locals.\u00a0<\/p>\n It begs the question of who those local workers were, what their training was and to what ext <\/p>\n DM.later(‘bundle’, function()<\/b><\/p>\n DM.molFeCarousel.init(‘#p-31’, ‘channelCarousel’,<\/p>\n “activeClass” : “wocc”,<\/p>\n “pageCount” : “3.0”,<\/p>\n “pageSize” : 1,<\/p>\n “onPos”: 0,<\/p>\n “updateStyleOnHover”: true<\/p>\n );<\/p>\n );<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Production of the film has stopped now in light of the tragedy.The Santa Fe<\/a> County Sheriff’s Department is investigating and ‘collecting evidence’, a spokesman said on Friday\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
