The assistant director who gave actor
Alec Baldwin
the gun that killed cinematographer
Halyna Hutchins
had been fired in 2019 from another shoot for a gun incident, a producer of that film reported Monday.
Hutchins died Thursday after she was injured on the set of the movie
Rust
in New Mexico.
Baldwin manipulated the weapon while they rehearsed a scene when the shot occurred.
Dave Halls,
the production assistant, was the one who turned the gun over to Baldwin, according to affidavits released by the Santa Fe sheriff's department in charge of the investigations.
Halls "was fired from the set of
Freedom's Path
in 2019 after a member of the crew
suffered a minor injury when a gun unexpectedly went off
," a producer of that yet-to-release film told AFP.
"Halls was immediately removed from the set after the blank was fired.
The production did not return to film until Dave was off location.
An incident report was collected at that time," added the
Freedom's Path
producer.
