According to a search warrant filed in a Santa Fe court, the gun was one of three that the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had set on a cart outside the wooden structure where a scene was being acted.
Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the gun from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the search warrant application.
OK, so the film's armorer supposed had a cart in the open that anybody could grab guns from. And on the cart, she had a mixture of guns with real bullets and others with blanks.
The AD walks up to the gun cart and picks one up and didn't check it, and hands it to Baldwin. Baldwin points it at his cinematographer and pulls the trigger.
Also as a bonus, Baldwin apparently points it as the Director Joel Souza and shoots him too? Or it was a ricochet? Or what? IT MAKES NO SENSE.
Sorry, but none of this makes any sense.
If films handled their guns this way, there would be a fatal shooting every month of the year.
I did not screenshot but, it but I read an account that said the bullet went through Halnya Hutchins and then into Joel Souza's clavicle. I'm imagining (with zero information to back it up) Souza was behind her and slightly to the left or, right of her. It was reported that a single shot killed Hutchins and injured Souza. I haven't seen any article identifying the entry point location of Hutchins' fatal injury. But, Souza's was reported as the clavicle, which is odd because the clavicle is a bone.
