A series of videos exclusively obtained by NBC News show #AlecBaldwin handling a prop gun and interacting with crew members while filming scenes for ‘#Rust.’ The footage was taken days before Baldwin’s prop gun fired a live round of ammunition on set, killing cinematographer #HalynaHutchins.
The videos are among dozens that special prosecutors requested from Rust Movie Productions LLC in the spring and didn’t receive until October, according to a source familiar with the matter. NBC News hasn’t reviewed the rest of the videos.

Stay out of gun range with this guy
Name me 1 basic gun safety tip he broke in this video. Let me see it. Cause last I checked he audibly confirmed to cast where he was going to shoot and said “I don’t want to shoot towards you’. #2 he also even said he wants the crew to take the SAFEST path and nicest path to minimize fall risk. Your logic warped my guy.
@Joseph Masonhe literally killed someone and blamed it on the gun
@OfficialMajorMasonYT
The trolls won’t ever listen to your sound logic nor recognize evidence.
Trolls are the same kind of people who excuse HAMAS for anything and everything.
They’re always lead by emotions first where cognition is required hence their misplaced and errant commentaries and conclusions.
It’s generally best to avoid them altogether as they’re unwilling to consider nor learn anything that would dispel their self-exulpating positions… that’s why they always pivot, point fingers, and gaslight.
Alec Baldwin should be in jail for murder, but since he’s a high profile celebrity with money, he’s still a free man. Murica for you
@Metro Vanrss and? It turns out the gun was modified making blaming the gun appropriate. “Special prosecutors initially dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin in April, saying they were informed the gun might have been modified before the shooting and malfunctioned”
Hes a good actor so I cant tell if he cares about safety or making propaganda videos….
“I don’t want to shoot towards you.”
Proceeds to one tap the director
Oh snap, he’s going down.
Nothing but imbecilles in the comments…
In every case his concern is for others.
That was my take away too. It is obvious, he has no intention of anyone getting hurt, especially by him!
That guy is such a jerk.
What happened to Alex is the gun literally “went off half cocked”. Pulling back the hammer without completely latching the hammer to the trigger results in a situation where if the hammer should slip out from under the thumb, the hammer can strike the bullet with enough force without the trigger being pulled to cause the gun to fire. Yes, it can “go off half cocked”. This is the situation that this little saying comes from. This is exactly what happened to Alex. But who allowed live ammo on the set? Hmmm…. The armorer? Alex properly hired the armorer to handle this stuff, and create a safe working environment. The armorer failed in this task. For Alex, aquit, aquit, aquit. The armorer is a lady who doesn’t have a lot of money, Alex does. The lawyers are trying their best to pin this on Alex because Alex has money not because he did anything wrong. He didn’t. Sorry lawyers, there’s not much money to be had here. It has become all about the money, not the justice.
Nope. Alec Baldwin is an actor that had handled firearms on previous productions and should know how to check a firearm on set and recognize the difference between blanks and live ammo.
@Lawrence Masonwe get it bro your a conservative and you don’t like him because he’s a liberal… get over yourself
They were live rounds every single day.
He killed that woman.
100% the armorers fault.
