Alec Baldwin shared "there were a number of misconceptions" about the incident that had surfaced since October 21 and said "most of it" was from sources he "really wouldn't concern (him)self about".
Alec Baldwin described the incident as a "one in a trillion episode" and said accidents of this nature very rarely happened on film sets. According to court records, Baldwin was handed the weapon by the film's assistant director, Dave Halls, who did not know it contained live ammunition and indicated it was unloaded by shouting "cold gun".
A revolver fired by Alec Baldwin during a “Rust” rehearsal on October 21 killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and left a projectile lodged in the shoulder of director Joel Souza, for doctors later to remove. Baldwin was told the revolver was “cold” and had no live rounds, investigators say.
The negligence suit is the first to be filed in connection with the 'Rust' tragedy, in which Alec Baldwin fired a Colt .45 containing a live round while setting up for a shot at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe. Hutchins was airlifted to a hospital, where she died.
The Santa Fe Sheriff's Office confirmed that Alec Baldwin had fired the prop gun that led to Hutchins's death and Souza's injuries on the set of "Rust", an independent film that Baldwin is acting in and producing.
A spokesperson for Alec Baldwin said there was an accident on the set involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks.
Hollywood actor-filmmaker Alec Baldwin posted an Instagram video on Thursday to express disappointment at being trolled after his tweet about Gillian Anderson's accent.
