Summary
<p>Two people were shot on the set of Alec Baldwin's movie <em>Rust.</em></p> <p>Director of photography Halyna Hutchins died, and director Joel Souza was wounded. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of three prop guns set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled, “cold gun.”</p> <p>"Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun does not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin, who used it to rehearse a scene. According to the search warrant, Baldwin aimed the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.</p> <p>Reports suggest crew members used the weapon for target practice earlier that morning.</p> <p>A judge dismissed charges against Baldwin, and the actor sued. Now a judge has tossed the case. </p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace today:</p> <ul> <li><em>Paul Szych – Former Police Commander; Author: “StopHimFromKillingThem” on Amazon Kindle; Twitter: @WorkplaceThreat; Screen Actors Guild-Eligible Actor</em></li> <li><a href="http://www.romanolaw.com/">Domenic Romano</a> – NY Corporate Lawyer and Entertainment Attorney, Romano Law</li> <li><a href="http://panthermitigation.com/">Dr. Shari Schwartz </a><em>– Forensic Psychologist (Specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy); Author: “Criminal Behavior” and “Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology;” X: @TrialDoc”</em></li> <li><a href="https://www.crimeonline.com/2023/01/03/crime-stories-with-nancy-grace-teen-girl-found-raped-strangled-on-riverbank-case-cracked-by-car-crash-years-later/barebonesforensic.com">Karen L.
