On Thursday, Alec Baldwin answered a phone call in the parking lot outside the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was asked about the filming of the movie "Rust" in the suburbs of Santa Fe on Thursday. (Rust) thing.

Santa Fe, New Mexico—As the film crew and actors in suits prepare to rehearse scenes in a church-like wooden building on the desert film ranch outside of Santa Fe, assistant director Dave Hols walked outside. I took a prop gun on the trolley.

He went back and handed it to the movie star Alec Baldwin, assuring him that it was safe to use because it had no live ammunition.

According to court records released on Friday, this is not the case. Instead, when Baldwin pulled the trigger on Thursday, he killed the cinematographer Harina Hutchins and injured the director Joel Suza, who was standing behind her.

Recordings obtained by the Albuquerque Journal detailed the 911 call prompting panic at the shooting scene, and the authorities have been alerted to the shooting.

"Two of us accidentally shot in the action of the prop gun. We need help immediately," the script supervisor told the emergency dispatcher. "We are rehearsing, it rang, I ran, we all ran."

The dispatcher asked if the gun contained real bullets.

"I can't tell you. We were injured twice," said the script director

This tragedy occurred nearly three years after the death of Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, in a similar case, and it raised terrible questions about how to happen again. The executive producer of the ABC police drama "Rookie" announced on Friday that the show will no longer use "live ammunition" weapons because "the safety of our actors and staff is too important."

The search warrant application submitted by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office contains detailed information about the shooting at the Bonanza Creek Road ranch. Investigators tried to check Baldwin's blood-stained clothing, weapons fired, other prop guns and ammunition in the movie "The Rust", as well as any possible footage.

According to records, this gun is one of the three guns that the film's armorer Hannah Gutierrez placed on a cart outside the building where the scene was being performed. A detective wrote in the search warrant application that Hols picked up the gun from the cart and brought it to Baldwin, not knowing it was full of live ammunition.

It is unclear how many bullets were fired. Court records stated that Gutierrez took out a cartridge case from the gun after the shooting, and when the police arrived, she handed the weapon to the police.

Hols did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment. The Associated Press could not reach Gutierrez and did not immediately respond to several messages sent to the film-related production company on Friday.

Mami Mitchell, the script supervisor of the film, said she was standing next to Hutchins when she was shot.

Mitchell told the Associated Press: "I ran out and called 911 and said,'Bring everyone and let everyone come.'" "This woman left at the beginning of her career. She is an extraordinary, Rare, very rare woman."

Mitchell said she and other crew members attended a private memorial service in Santa Fe on Friday night.

Baldwin described the killing as a "tragic accident."

Baldwin wrote on Twitter: "My shock and sadness cannot be expressed in words about the tragic accident that took the lives of our wife, mother, and our highly admired colleague Harina Hutchins. I am fully cooperating. Police investigation." "I am heartbroken for her husband, their son, and everyone who knows and loves Halyna."

The charges were not immediately filed, and the sheriff’s spokesperson Juan Rios said Baldwin was allowed to travel.

"He is a free man," Rios said.

The guns used in making movies are sometimes real weapons. They can fire bullets or hollow bullets. This is a gunpowder charge that produces flashes and explosions but does not produce deadly projectiles. Even the blank can spray hot air and paper or plastic filler from the barrel, which is fatal at close range. It turns out that this was the case with the death of an actor in 1984.

In another accident at the scene in 1993, Li was killed after leaving a bullet in the prop gun. A similar shooting also occurred on stage weapons, which were loaded with live ammunition during the replay of history.

Steven Hall, a senior British director of photography, said that since then, gun safety agreements on American studios have improved. But he said that one of the most dangerous positions is behind the camera, because in the scene where the actor seems to be pointing a gun at the audience, that person is in the line of fire.

Rios said that after the 911 call described someone being shot there, the sheriff's deputy responded to the film set in Bonanza Creek Ranch around 2 pm. The ranch has been used in dozens of movies, including the recent Tom Hanks western film "News of the World".

The 42-year-old Hutchins serves as the director of photography in the 2020 action film "Archenemy" starring Joe Manganillo. He graduated from the American Film Academy in 2015 and was named a "rising star" by American cinematographers in 2019.

"I am very sad about losing Halyna. And very angry, it may happen on set," "Archenemy" director Adam Egypt Mortimer said on Twitter. "She is a talented genius who is absolutely dedicated to art and film."

Manganiello called Hutchins "an incredible genius" and "a great man" on his Instagram account. He said he was lucky to work with her.

After the filming was over, the production of "Rust" stopped. According to the Internet Movie Database website, this movie tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who had to take care of himself and his brother after his parents died in Kansas in the 1880s. After the boy was sentenced to hang for accidentally killing a local rancher, the teenager fled with his long-distance grandfather (played by Baldwin).
