Alec Baldwin targeted by new complaint for "dangerous behavior"

Complaints follow one another after the drama during a take of the western

.

Actor Alec Baldwin, who accidentally killed a filmmaker, "played Russian roulette" when he handled a weapon without respecting the safety rules in force in the film industry, accuses a complaint filed against him on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Mamie Mitchell, employed as a scriptwriter on the set of the film where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally injured on October 21, is the second member of the crew to file a complaint against Alec Baldwin and the other producers. She had called for help immediately after the tragedy and said she suffered from "emotional distress" and other disturbances resulting from damage "caused intentionally" by the production.

"The events leading up to the triggering of a loaded weapon by Mr. Baldwin were not mere negligence," said lawyer for the script, Gloria Allred.

"On the contrary, from our point of view, Mr. Baldwin chose to play Russian roulette when he activated a weapon without having checked it and without the gunsmith having done so in his presence", argues l 'lawyer.

“His behavior and that of the producers at 

were dangerous,” she says.

Another complaint for "negligence"

Also targeted by the complaint are assistant director David Halls, who had handed the gun to Alec Baldwin telling him that it was harmless, and the armourer of the set, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was responsible for the weapons at fire used by the team. The latter has repeatedly asserted that she was unaware of the presence of live ammunition on the set.

Alec Baldwin and other "experienced professionals knew that the weapon in question should never have been given to him by the assistant director" but by the gunsmith of the shooting, accused the lawyer.

The actor “could not therefore trust any statement from the assistant director on the harmlessness of the weapon”.

Last week, Serge Svetnoy, chief lighting designer of the film present during the accidental shooting, had already lodged a complaint for "negligence" against the actor, the production and the gunsmith.
