Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died in an on-set shooting on Oct. 21 that also left director Joel Souza wounded.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – EXCLUSIVE: Gun handling on Alec Baldwin’s “Rust” set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, appeared alarmingly “green,” “immature” and “lackadaisical,” according to sources close to the set who said they were horrified at times by some of what they saw.
They observed the conduct before a fatal on-set shooting accident that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and wounded director Joel Souza.
One image taken behind the scenes on the halted film’s set, shown to Fox News Digital, shows 24-year-old armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and two other women standing in a circle with a pair of Old West rifles and a revolver.
One long gun’s barrel is resting against the belly of one of the woman across from Gutierrez Reed as she uses her cellphone. The butt of the other is propped against her hip, barrel in the dirt. A third woman is holding the revolver by the end of the grip, with a tangle of wires in the same hand, barrel pointed down.
“People didn’t know the rules,” a source said.
