Rust movie set saw ‘three red flags’ before Halyna Hutchins’ tragedy

As the investigation over Halyna Hutchins’ death on the Rust movie set continues, a  new report has revealed shocking details of three other warning signs that took place before the cinematographer was tragically killed.

Los Angeles Times published an investigative report, interviewing crew from the set, revealed that there were three accidental gun firings that happened days before actor Alec Baldwin accidentally fired the gun that killed Halyna.

In one instance crew members shared that Alec’s stunt double had accidentally fired a gun that he was told was “cold”.

Another warning sign was when a young woman who was working in the props department “actually shot herself in the foot” with a blank.

In addition these instances saw no on-site medic present.

Furthermore a production worker shared: “Somebody dropped a countersink bit and it stabbed me in the hand. I had to take care of it myself and I’m still healing from it.”

Meanwhile Lane Luper, the A-camera first assistant, told the publication: “It always felt like the budget was more important than crew members. Every thing was about the schedule and the budget.”
