Baldwin was told prop gun was ‘safe’, offers support to victim’s family

The pistol with which Alec Balwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured the assistant director during filming of the film ‘Rust’, was stated to be safe, court officials have revealed.

This was highlighted in the inquiry related to the Santa Fe shooting tragedy, which left Alec Baldwin distraught and in tears near the Sante Fe sheriff’s office after the incident. The actor and producer explained that his “heart is broken” and he is “fully co-operating” with the police, going on to reveal that he is in touch with Halyna’s husband to offer his support to the Hutchins family.

A statement by the film’s production company ‘Rust Movie Productions’ said that it will be conducting a detailed review of the procedures, stating “Though we were not made aware of any official complaints concerning weapon or prop safety on set, we will be conducting an internal review of our procedures while production is shut down.”
