halyna hutchins honed her craft here. one of her teachers said she had a unique perspective of the world. as herfriends, family and industry grieve and search for answers, a candlelit vigil will be held near the film set where she lost her life doing what she loved. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. well, earlier i spoke to firearms expert clark aposhian, who has extensive experience working as a weapons handler on hollywood productions. he gave his thoughts on the latest information about the shooting. what i'm hearing is that it was actually a loaded round and it was handed to the actor, alec baldwin, and he fired it. it's a breakdown of at least three things — no live ammunition on a set, and pointing a firearm at a person, still not allowed on a set even during the shooting, you know, the filming of it, and finger on the trigger when it shouldn't have been. well, you touched on it there. what are the normal working practices around guns on sets and what are your thoughts about what appears to have gone wrong here?

so, helena hutchins had been, as your reporters said, had been a rising star. and also, you know, rare to have a female cinematographer in -- in the industry. you know, rising up and also doing genre films like a western. and she had apparently been advocating for safety on -- on this shoot. um, and you know, i guess felt alone by her crew, colleagues. and she sort of stayed. but she -- she -- she was obviously upset and in tears as we've been reported by the situation before this fatal incident happened. >> just so awful for her family and everybody involved. appreciate it. thank you. joining us now is larry, who is 59 film and tv series to his fame name, gun handler and armor. also with us, cnn legal analyst, laura coates. um, larry, i appreciate your time tonight. is this -- this is obviously still an ongoing investigation. there are limited details we have. just in layman 's terms, can yo though walk us through how prop guns are usually handled on film sets and the safety guidelines that should go along with them? >> of course, in the television and film in

hutchins and injured mr. souza. >> how much will you take into account the previous accusations of unsafe practices and negligence on other sets? we know you will for this sit. but there's reports of negligence on other sets. how much will you take that into account? >> that's up to the district attorney to determine how much that will weigh. we will follow up on those statements made, that there were other incidents. we want to speak to anybody that has any information in reference to safety on other sets or whether there were other issues and we could encourage to call the sheriff with any information that they may have so we can get a good idea what the totality of the circumstances are on this set and what is happening in the industry. >> [question inaudible] >> that is something that will play into our legal analysis when we get the completed investigation from the sheriff's department. could play to whether charges get filed or not. >> [question inaudible] >> can you speak broadly to when it comes to a

they will continue to cooperate with authorities in hutchins' death. meantime attention is turning to dave halls, the director of the film. josh campbell reports. >> reporter: we are learning new details about the person who handed alec baldwin the prop gun on the day of the fatal shooting here in santa fe. assistant director dave halls who was on set that day had been involved in another incident two years ago involving the accidental discharge of a weapon on a set that resulted in an employee recoiling from that weapon unexpectedly taken off. the person was taken away by a medic but brought back. halls was discharged and ultimately dismissed. we reached out to halls for comment, but have not received a response. we are learning new details surrounding the fatal shooting itself here in santa fe. according to a search warrant affidavit from the sheriff's department, we are told alec baldwin is practicing a cross draw rehearsal where a person pulls a weapon across their body when the fatal shot rings out. the question remains what was inside the weapon.

or andros hutchins. and how ever this impacts baldwin, i mean, how might such an incident impact you? he did this, j.d. vance, why? presumably because he thinks it will help him win supporters. he did it to win votes. in other words, the cruelty is a feature of his candidacy, not a bug. vance is seemingly following the playbook of donald trump, whose response to the death of secretary colin powell a few days ago was to issue a statement attacking powell. following similar attacks that he made against the late john mccain and the late john dingell, after they had died. violations of basic decency, ones we see repeatedly with the republican party's embrace of individuals such as congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from georgia, her reaction in 2018 to a deadly fire in the western united states was to go on facebook and speculate that wealthy jewish americans might be using lasers to cause the fires to make money somehow. a deranged anti-semitic conspiracy theory. nuts. one that was brought up by congressw

so many people knew knew hellie ha lee that hutchins. this is not a role many women get to rise up into. there is a broad sense of not liability of pointing fingers but what is it the industry needs to do to make sure this absolutely never happens again. >> we're looking at pictures of her husband and child and sad all the way around. josh, take us forward. so many questions for investigators. what else are they looking for at this point? >> well, that liability is a big question. we were awaiting to see whether there will indeed be charges, perhaps a charge of negligence. most people we talked to say this appears to be an accident but that doesn't mean that anyone who was involved in this case isn't still liable for negligence and finally, according to the sheriff's department, the weapon itself. what was inside the weapon? that will come from the coroner's report. we're expecting that and not formal report received but what investigators say is they hope with that information, they will know what was inside the weapon and help them eli

halyna hutchins was an up—and—coming director of photography. named a rising star by american cinematographer magazine in 2019, she was considered to be an exceptionally talented individual. the investigation into what happened on the set of rust, a i9th—century western, is continuing. police say that alec baldwin, the star of the movie, discharged a prop gun during filming. the directorjoel souza was seriously hurt. halyna hutchins was flown to hospital by helicopter but died from her injuries. film—maker adam egypt mortimer, who worked with halyna hutchins on his 2020 action film archenemy, described her as a huge talent. i met her, before i'd seen any of her work, i met her at a film festival, and within a few moments of talking to her, i felt like she had such a strong vibe, such a sense of commitment to art and the integrity of wanting to make cinema, that i wanted to work with her. according to the film's production company, it was an accident that happened when a prop gun carrying blanks misfired. but this early in the investigation,

but when it was fired, it killed hutchins and the director. for the first time, we're hearing the chilling 911 calls. >> this [ bleep ] a.d. that yelled at me about the guns. he's supposed to check the gun. he's responsible for it. >> reporter: late today a crew member telling abc news almost the entire camera department walks off the set hours before the shooting, saying the issue of gun safety had been brought up by the camera crew and brushed off repeatedly by producers. also saying because of the film's small budget, they were cutting corners. the producers reportedly left scrambling, reportedly bringing in several nonunion replacements. al al alec baldwin saying, he's fully cooperating with the investigation. a source telling abc news that baldwin has been very supportive. it's been nearly 30 years since a similar tragedy claimed the life of actor brandon lee, son of bruce lee, during filming of the movie "the crow." he was shot with a prop gun that had a live round of ammunition lodged inside. abc news obtaining the industry standard saf

halyna hutchins was airlifted to hospital, but she died from her injuries. directorjoel souza was also seriously hurt. in a statement, alec baldwin said... the incident has rocked hollywood, with many of those in the film industry now mourning one of their rising stars and infuriated this could happen on set. and it comes just days after a nationwide strike was averted after a tentative deal between producers and set workers that included an upgrading of safety standards. this isn't the first time someone�*s been fatally shot during filming. nearly 20 years ago, brandon lee died after being shot by a prop gun on the set of the crow. now people are demanding to know how it could have happened again. there are instances when you do shoot a blank that you can be injured. often, what comes out of the muzzle after you've discharged the weapon that has blank ammunition is sometimes a cotton wad, and that coming out at a very high velocity to an individual that's really close by can cause significant damage, and in some cases can cause death. an investigation int

she's, of course, referring to helena hutchins who was killed. she was the mother of a young boy living there with her husband in l.a. with their young son. several people expressed a concern about the lack of safety measures on this particular production. in fact, i interviewed a hairstylist on the production of "rust" and she said she backed out over negotiations in part because of rate negotiations and also in part because of safety concerns. she said that the crew or that the team told her that it was a non-negotiable on housing, and the concern about housing was that the crew members were being housed in albuquerque 50 miles away from the set. that meant very long hours, a lot of drive time, a lot of safety concerns. fred? >> all right. lucy kafanov, thank you so much. still so many questions. i want to bring in dutch mashic and ask him a few questions. he's the former president of the former entertainment union local 44 and prop master who has worked in the film and television industry for decades. he's currently working on the hbo sires "e
