The sheriff investigating the fatal film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin described complacency, disorganization and neglected safety measures on the New Mexico set of the low-budget movie "Rust"
The vast trove of newly released law enforcement files include lapel camera video of the mortally wounded Hutchins slipping in and out of consciousness as an evacuation helicopter arrives on the set of the Western movie set for "Rust." Witness interrogations, email threads, text conversations, inventories of ammunition and hundreds of photographs round out the collection of evidence.
"Halyna, deep breath. There you go, good girl," says a medic, urging Hutchins to take in air through an oxygen mask. Newly published documents show authorities have scraped cellphone accounts for text messages, images and audio files linked the cast, crew and munitions suppliers for "Rust." Text messages recount two firearms misfires on the set prior to the deadly shooting, though none involved live ammunition.
"Mr. Baldwin welcomes this investigation," said attorney Luke Nikas in a statement. "The information that has been revealed by the authorities demonstrates, once again, that Mr. Baldwin acted responsibly." "I take the gun out slowly. I turn, I cock the pistol," Baldwin says. "Bang, it goes off. She hits the ground."Those statements conflict with more recent findings by state occupational safety regulators, who last week issued the maximum possible fine of nearly US$137,000 against the "Rust" film production company.
