Are you sure, Alec? Baldwin posts 'Everything's going to be alright' HOURS after he was sued by family of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins as they recreate moment he accidentally shot and killed her with prop gun on New Mexico set
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Halyna Hutchins' husband and son are suing Alec Baldwin and others associated with production of Western Rust after the actor shot her dead

  • Hours after the civil lawsuit was filed Tuesday, Baldwin posted to Instagram a video of a sign that read, 'Everything's going to be alright'

  • Lawyers claims 'reckless behavior and cost-cutting' led to cinematographer's death in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in October 2021

  • Complaint alleges Baldwin had 'refused' training for the kind of gun draw he was doing when he accidentally shot Hutchins

  • A video created by the attorneys showed a 3D animated recreation of the shooting

  • It shows a computer-generated avatar representing Baldwin accepting the Colt from David Halls, pointing it in Hutchins' direction, and firing

  • The animation shows that the bullet in the chamber was live and not a 'dummy' with a hole drilled into it. The round strikes Hutchins, who clutches her chest and collapses in the video

  • Baldwin, who was seen out in New York City's West Village on Tuesday, has not commented on the lawsuit but he later posted a video of a sign that read 'Everything's going to be alright' to Instagram

#2 Allowing live rounds on the set was some serious negligence. From bits I've heard, the whole production was a low-rent, slipshod affair.

I am suddenly wondering if the round fired was the only live one in the gun. Dummy rounds look just like live ones. Maybe someone grabbed a handful from the wrong box when they were setting up.
