Shooting Alec Baldwin's 'cursed' assistant and a suspicious gunsmith
USA Alec Baldwin's large fortune with which he would have to respond to a civil lawsuit
Alec Baldwin asked this Monday that from now on
the presence of a policeman in film and television filming using weapons,
real or false, be required after the accident in which the actor shot and killed the cinematographer
Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin, who first posted the message on his Twitter account (now private) and later on his public Instagram profile, explained that the security officer's role would exclusively be to
"monitor the safety of weapons"
in the studio.
New Mexico authorities continue to investigate what went wrong so that last month, during a scene rehearsal, Baldwin fired a revolver that was
loaded with a real bullet
that killed Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza.
The Sheriff of the Santa Fe town,
Adan Mendoza,
said two weeks ago that he had found about 500 rounds of ammunition, including a mixture of "blank cartridges, fake bullets and real bullets."
Faced with questions from the press about the possible legal responsibility of Baldwin, who in addition to being the protagonist of the film is one of the producers, the sheriff stressed that
"nothing is ruled out."

Investigators know the pistol passed through two other hands before reaching Baldwin: Dave Halls, the assistant director, and Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the production gunsmith.
The gunsmith's lawyers insist that their client
never knew of the existence of live ammunition
or knew where it came from, and even hinted during an interview that someone may have tried to sabotage the recording by introducing live bullets into the study.
According to his testimony, Gutierrez Reed loaded the pistol with bullets that were in a box labeled
"false ammunition."
For his part, the assistant director
admitted that he did not properly check the gun
before handing it over to Baldwin shouting "cold gun", which in Hollywood slang is used to confirm that the gun is unloaded for use. .

Statements from crew members working on the set of "Rust" describe
a precarious work environment
in which protests piled up and half a dozen employees resigned on the same day of the accident.
In fact, the day after Hutchins' death,
a worker was attacked by a poisonous spider
while picking up the set and could lose his arm, the
New York Post
reported Sunday
.
