SANTA FE, N.M. — The assistant director who handed Alec Baldwin the prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the production’s armorer did not appear to check the firearm properly, new documents reveal.
“Rust” assistant director David Halls said he picked up the gun and brought it over to the production’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, to be checked before resuming rehearsal the day of the fatal incident on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, production, according to a search warrant released Wednesday.
