Alec Baldwin, who was on Rust immediately after shooting Halyna’s death, has been photographed again. Alec Baldwin is seen speaking to someone via phone, while sitting alongside other cast and crew members, in front the sheriffs, and the roped-off church, where the accident took place.
On Friday, Good Morning America showed the picture as the Special Effects Coordinator from the film told the story of Halyna’s harrowing moment and how they found out that Halyna had died after reading the newspaper.
The first photos of Baldwin were taken after the shooting in the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department’s parking lot. Following the news that her death had been announced, Baldwin was overwhelmed with grief. He was also being interrogated by investigators to learn how he inadvertently shot her.
This new photo was taken behind his back and doesn’t show his face. According to his memories of that day, he did not know it was a live-round that had hit Halyna or even killed her. He was also confused about what actually happened.
I wondered if she had fainted when she fell. Baldwin stated that I didn’t realize there was a live round inside the gun until about 45 to one hour later. Baldwin made this statement in an interview last week with ABC News.
Thomas Gandy was the Special Effects Coordinator and told Good Morning America that he stood behind her as she fell to the floor. He then started bleeding profusely.

After being informed that Halyna died at the hospital, Baldwin was shown. After being told that Halyna had died in the hospital, Baldwin was seen outside Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. He was also interviewed about the incident.
Baldwin (63) insists it wasn’t a success and that he did NOT pull the trigger. Gandy didn’t mention this in Friday’s interview on Good Morning America. He did however mention the ‘bedlam’ that occurred after she realized she’d been struck.
You can immediately hear the bedlam in this building. People were scrambling, running. It was not even considered a bullet.
“Halyna turned her back towards me, and she was wearing a kind of shiny, silvery coat. The hole was obvious and it started bleeding. It started bleeding profusely.
“Right there, as I said, that was when it became real. We don’t even know Joel is struggling. “We don’t even know that he has been shot through his chest,” he stated.
Joel Souza was the director, who was hit in the shoulder and later recovered. Halyna later died at the hospital.
Baldwin is more detailed than his account of the incident, saying that Halyna may have suffered from a heart attack or been faint when she was knocked to the ground.
Thomas Gandy (special effects coordinator) told GMA Halyna was bleeding profusely after being shot. The bullet also left a hole in Halyna’s coat.
Baldwin, who was pictured sitting at the table next to a fire in the days preceding his accidental shooting of Hutchins, is seen pointing a rifle and enjoying the warmth of the long rifle.
Halyna Hudson is seen at Rust on the day she died. Cast and crew described Halyna Hutchins as being the “heart” of the production.
Hilaria, his actress wife, and actor who have fought with journalists and photographers since the shooting began, were seen last night in New York City attending their first public event following the tragedy.
Baldwin has been cooperating with police, and he says that he doesn’t think he’ll be charged criminally. On Thursday, several members of the crew posted an open letter on Instagram to discredit any descriptions of Baldwin’s set as “chaotic” or “exploitative.”
Gandy. Gandy, the coordinator for special effects, was among the signatories.
The letter states: “This letter was written for the cast and crew at the film production Rust. It has not been sanctioned or influenced in any way by the producers.
‘We, the undersigned, believe the public narrative surrounding our workplace tragedy to be inadequate and wish to express a more accurate account of our experience.
Baldwin returned to the stage at Thursday’s RFK Ripple of Hope Gala where he was host. Baldwin didn’t speak of the tragedy, but said that he was happy to be away from the house.
Baldwin, his wife Hilaria and Kerry Kennedy attended the gala Thursday night. Baldwin attended the gala for the first time since his October 21 shooting.
They are seen leaving their Manhattan home after Hilaria, who complained on Instagram about being the focus of media attention, took photos.
Hilaria Baldwin shared her Instagram story Friday morning, in which she encouraged followers to speak up and reclaim the voice they have. Alec (right) is seen purchasing a Christmas Tree in New York City Thursday
“We’re hurting because of the death of Halyna Hutchins, our friend and colleague. As they grieve, we are also hurting for the friends who were targeted by the media.
“Unfortunately in the film industry it’s common to work on chaotic or unprofessional productions.
Rust wasn’t one of them. Rust was a professional. Rust was described as an exploitative, chaotic and dangerous workplace. These descriptions distract from what is most important: Halyna’s memory.
Baldwin hosted an event on human rights last night.
On the podium, he joked about his desire to leave the home he shares with Hilaria and six of their children. He said: “I would give anything to be able to escape the house for thirty minutes.”
Baldwin shared this open letter via his Instagram account. It was signed by many Rust cast members and crewmembers. They said that the set is safe and was not exploitative
Hilaria complained to the press before going out that night.
Baldwin was diagnosed with ‘PTSD’ by her and she told reporters that he is ill.
For an example, she posted a video showing a New York Post journalist confronting them in Woody Allen’s townhouse steps earlier this week.
Baldwin was being asked by the reporter if he pulled the trigger on Rust’s gun.
Hilaria started filming and asked the reporter to leave, much like she had done before.
The caption was added by her: “My husband suffers from PTSD. It has been a problem for a long period of time. Now, it’s worse than ever. Others try to take advantage of him by poking him and trying to get him riled up. This can lead them into causing havoc with his mental health.
“It sometimes works. This is what I do. It is an excellent example.
The Rust shooting has not been solved, but Sante Fe sheriffs will continue their investigation.
Matt Hutchins, Hutchins’ widower said that Baldwin had been speaking with him after the accident and was being supportive.
