A new video shows Alec Baldwin, distraught and confused after he was informed that he had killed the cinematographer on Rust’s set last year.
This footage was shot inside Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, New Mexico. It was recorded on October 21st 2021 after Baldwin’s prop pistol fired a live bullet during a rehearsal.
After telling police he hadn’t pulled the trigger, he was stunned to see what appeared like live fire coming from his weapon. It pierced Joel Souza’s shoulder and struck Hutchins’ armpit.
“I have bad news. The investigator said that she didn’t get it.
He sat back and said, “No!” Before he asked if he could be excused from calling his wife Hilaria, Baldwin said: “No!” Baldwin left the room clutching his head with both hands. He was snapped in the parking lot at the sheriff’s offices, crying as he talked to Hilaria.
Six months later, and still at the time, nobody knows how a bullet got into Baldwin’s gun.
Baldwin called police to inquire about one theory. He claimed that the box of dummy rounds had been lost and then reappear with live ammunition.
Alexandra Hancock was contacted by him and he explained to her that someone had informed him that this box contained the bullets that Hannah Gutierrez Reed, an armorer, had stolen. They were then loaded into Hancock’s gun.
‘It reappeared. It appeared suddenly on top a truck table. My wife confirmed that this was the exact box that long colts were removed from in order to be put into my gun. The live rounds were still in the box when they returned to it. It is clear that I believe this was an accident due to negligence.

Baldwin (64), is seen raising his right hand in surprise as the investigators inform him that Hutchins had died at 42. Baldwin, 64 years old, raises his arm to show his shock and looks at the pair of investigators.

Baldwin stays in this position for twenty-four seconds. Then, he places his hand on the chest of his opponent and covers his face with it.

Baldwin sits silently and raises his hands to greet Hilaria, before asking for his husband’s name.

Yesterday, Baldwin and Hilaria were photographed near their New York City residence with two of their six children.
He stated, “But it sounds like there is a chance, but it doesn’t sound like it’s too slim. It’s not conspiracy that somebody manipulated this.”
The actor complained that Hutchins’ death had been told to his daughter, eight years old.

Baldwin was practicing a scene in Rust when it happened. He pulled out his gun and began to rehearse the scene. Hutchins (pictured at 42) was shot in the armpit by it. This fatally wounded her.
“You know what is really hard for me? I have six children.
“We had to inform my daughter, who was older than me yesterday about what happened. She started crying.
She said, “I’m going back to school. Everyone’s going be making fun of me.” My eight-year-old. Between now and the end of the year, they let me go on half of my jobs.
“They did not want me to go.”
Gutierrez asked the detectives for help.
‘I hope you know…. getting Hannah in your sights there and asking her to describe this box of colt… It would be a pleasure to know more about it.
‘Tracing the chain of title of that round that killed Halyna – what else matters but that?
“My sincere gratitude for your patience with me. I have heard people say to me, “Who could’ve had anything for you?”
‘Who was anybody on the set who expressed to anybody some kind of malignant…never in a million of years did I assume someone could I still believe it was an accident…
Baldwin was practicing a scene in Rust when the gun fell from his coat. The gun fired, and it shot Hutchins (42), in the armpit. She was fatally wounded.
Baldwin believed that the gun was empty and fired a live shot.
After Tuesday’s suggestion by Adan Mendoza of Santa Fe County that Baldwin might still face criminal charges for inadvertently murdering Hutchins,
Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office released this week a wealth of videos and documents from its investigation into the accident.
Baldwin also appears in more footage from the aftermath, when he tells police that the gun was his and asks for a cigarette.
Baldwin is seen smoking the cigarettes that were handed to him outside. Then, Baldwin questions Hutchins’ whereabouts before the police officer tells him her current status as ‘questionable.
Sheriff Mendoza stated that Baldwin may still be charged because he was the one who handled the weapon.
Appearing on Good Morning America on Tuesday, Sheriff Mendoza said ‘He was the one that handled the weapon that fired the round that led to the fatality.
‘We’re going to work with the DA’s office to determine if there is criminal neglect or criminal charges. We know the names of those who did not do their job. This was one of our key questions.
Mendoza stated that police have not received forensics and bulletistics reports regarding the shooting which took place more than six month ago.
“The analysis of the firearm and FBI reports are the key components. When that is done, [the DA] will make the determination of who’s responsible, if anyone.’
Baldwin was shown being informed that Hutchins died of a gunshot injury as part of the Sheriff’s department’s collection.
‘I have some very unfortunate news to tell you,’ an investigator told Baldwin whilst they were sat at a table in the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.
Baldwin immediately looks up at the table, and asks “What?”
“She,” replied the investigator. [Hutchins]It didn’t happen. Baldwin immediately says “no” before raising his hands in shock.
Another officer said, “Yes.” Joel was still present at the hospital. The other party involved was not able to make it. Sorry. It was not my intention to have it heard outside of this room.
Baldwin sits silently and raises his arms to greet Hilaria, before asking for her name.
Additional footage capturing the actor on the phone with Hilaria was available before the police interview.
She is heard asking the actor to fly her from New York City to New Mexico so she can be there with him.
“Can you hear my voice?” Is it possible to hear me now? You can hear me at the police station. What’s the state of everyone back home? How are the kids?
“The kids are wonderful,” she replied.
He wanted to know if Carmen had been told by her.
“Are You Confident That Tomorrow is the Right Time for you?
She said, “I don’t think it’s a great idea.” Call me after you talk with the sheriff but I don’t think it’s a great idea.
He replied, “Just to make it clear. You’re going be making me stay.
He then brought the phone up to his ears and said, “I don’t want this film anymore. I’m not interested in being a public speaker. Everyone was expected to take care of me, but I hold the gun.
“They always give me a cold pistol.”
Then, he appears to ask his wife where she is at the moment. Michelle, who is it?
“And were you?” I will call you when I’m finished, okay?
During the 30 minute police interview, Baldwin told how he had always been handed a ‘cold’ weapon by the crew.
In new footage released by Sheriff’s Office, Baldwin is seen drawing his gun in a rehearsal of the fatal Rust movie scene that saw him accidentally kill Hutchins.

Hutchins was once stripped of her top layer to aid paramedics trying to save her.

Hutchins was also seen being taken out of the church by a cart while being administered oxygen. After being placed in a medical-evac helicopter, Hutchins was then airlifted off to safety.
He was filmed being confronted by police shortly after the shooting and warned that he would not discuss the incident with anyone else.

On Monday, the sheriff’s department released many text messages and email from Dave Halls (assistant director) to the media.
These messages are a reminder of how Baldwin’s friends and confidantes advised him to not blame Baldwin for his tragedy.
One message, written to Halls by a friend named Julie Burris, said: ‘It looks as though everyone is going for their 15 minutes of fame and AB PR team is in overdrive trying to shift the blame away from himself on a worker bee who doesn’t have the money or the power to refute any of it.
“I believe you should discuss this issue with your attorney. The most important thing now is to ensure that there aren’t any criminal charges against you. [sic]It is true.
‘And then after the fact assess what person (s) and/or news outlets you can sue for libel/slander/defamation.’

After the shooting death of Halyna Huschins, Assistant Director Dave Halls took fingerprints

After the shooting death of Halyna Huschins, Assistant Director Dave Halls gave a DNA sample to Halyna.
Her message began with a reference to Halls’s claims that film industry insiders had previously claimed that Halls was ignoring safety regulations on other sets.
Burris sent Halls another message the same day. ‘All this means to me is that those with money and power use you as a victim knowing that you cannot afford legal bills to press against and they don’t care about what happens to you.
‘Remember, I don’t see much about AB on the media and haven’t heard any other details about him or his producing team. It’s not one.
Halls was filmed in an interview giving fingerprints and DNA samples to investigators.
He has spoken the most of all the participants in the shooting in the six-months since.
Hannah Gutierrez–Reed, a 24-year-old armourer, repeatedly made statements protesting her innocence. She claimed she was being overworked at the set.
Yesterday’s bodycam footage shows her telling police she fears for her job after the accident.
In her own police interview, she told the investigators: ‘I check the guns and I load the guns and I hand the guns to the actor.’
“We set up the guns before we went. The dummy rounds were used to stuff the guns. After lunch, nothing happened. …’


Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer, stated that she is the one who loads the guns on the actors.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza indicated in a statement that the agency’s investigation is ongoing. It awaits ballistics, forensic analysis by FBI and studies of fingerprint and DNA.
In a statement, he stated that the sheriff’s department was releasing any files related to our ongoing investigation. These files include photographs of the ammunition and reports on examination.
Baldwin, who was shooting at Halyna Hutchins as she tried to shoot a camera, accidentally fired a shot that killed Hutchins. It also injured Joel Souza, the director of the ranch. They were inside a small church as they set up for filming.
Baldwin is seen making frantic calls in the video that police captured later that day as he waited for his meeting with officials from law enforcement.
He said, over the phone: “You do not know how absurd this is and how odd it is.”
New Mexico safety regulators imposed a maximum $137,000 fine on Rust film production company last week.
New Mexico´s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau said Rust Movie Productions must pay $136,793, and distributed a scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols, including testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two misfires on set prior to the fatal shooting.
Additionally, crew members submitted gun safety complaints that were left unresolved. The bureau stated that no weapons specialists had been allowed to decide on additional safety training. Rust Movie Productions indicated that it would contest the sanction and findings.
Baldwin claimed in an interview with ABC News, December that he was on the set point shooting at Hutchins when the gun went off.

New Mexico safety regulators imposed a nearly $137,000 maximum penalty against Rust Film Production Company last week.
