亚历克·鲍德温致命枪击电影摄影师时,电影《Rust》正在拍摄,片场的军械师指责鲍德温未能遵守片场的安全规则和程序,以回应演员最近为避免责任而提起的仲裁。
根据圣达菲县治安官办公室的说法,2021年10月21日,在新墨西哥州圣达菲附近的博南扎河牧场进行彩排时,鲍德温手持一把古董左轮手枪,当时道具枪发射了一发实弹,打死了42岁的哈莉娜·哈钦斯,打伤了48岁的导演乔尔·苏扎。
“Rust”军械师汉娜·古铁雷斯(Hannah Gutierrez)的律师周日发布了一份声明,回应鲍德温最近的法庭文件,称排练是“即兴的”,并声称古铁雷斯在武器被带出来之前没有被叫到教堂里检查武器。古铁雷斯的律师杰森·鲍尔斯(Jason Bowles)周日在声明中表示,当时,古铁雷斯“有她被迫处理的道具职责”,因为制作“迫使她承担更多的道具责任”。
此外,拍摄现场监视器周围的“视频村”在拍摄当天没有营业,这“进一步阻止了汉娜了解教堂内部发生的事情,”鲍尔斯说。
鲍尔斯说,鲍德温和其他人有“义务和责任”在拍摄任何涉及武器的场景之前叫她检查武器。
鲍尔斯说:“鲍德温先生知道,他在任何情况下都不能用枪指着机组人员,他有责任保护其他机组人员的安全。”"然而,在这起致命事件发生之前,他确实违背了所有规则和常识,用枪指着哈莉娜。"
鲍尔斯声称,鲍德温没有接受古铁雷斯的提议,训练他交叉拔枪,这是一种起源于旧西方的携带手枪的“危险”方法。
在最近的仲裁文件中,鲍德温的律师辩称,其他人对哈钦森的死亡负有责任,他的合同保护他在该事件中不承担任何经济责任。
周五提交的法庭文件称,“这是一个罕见的系统崩溃的例子,有人应该为悲惨的后果承担法律责任。”“那个人不是亚历克·鲍德温。”
该文件还包括一个场景内部的外观和鲍德温在枪响时排练的剧本,以及哈钦斯的丈夫和鲍德温之间的短信。
哈钦斯是被一个住在枪里,权威人士说。

今年1月,古铁雷斯提起诉讼,指控弹药供应商在一个本应只装假子弹的盒子里装了实弹。
鲍尔斯周日表示:“无论怎么强调都不为过,实弹射击从来就不应该出现在现场,我们的调查将继续追查它们是如何出现的真相。”。
枪击案的指控还没有提出。
Armorer on 'Rust' set accuses Alec Baldwin, others of failing to follow safety procedures
The armorer on the set of "Rust," the movie that was being filmed when Alec Baldwin fatally shot the film's cinematographer, accused Baldwin of failing to follow safety rules and procedures on set in response to the arbitration the actor recently filed seeking to avoid liability.
Baldwin was holding an antique revolver during a dress rehearsal on Oct. 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when the prop gun discharged a live round, killing 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injuring the director, 48-year-old Joel Souza, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
The attorney for "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez, the daughter of long-time film industry armorer Thell Reed, released a statement Sunday in response to Baldwin's recent court filing, describing the rehearsal as "impromptu," and alleging that Gutierrez was not called inside the church to inspect the weapons before they were brought out. At the time, Gutierrez "had prop duties that she was forced to deal with," as production was "forcing her to take on more responsibilities for props," Jason Bowles, Gutierrez's attorney, said in the statement Sunday.
In addition, the "video village," the area around the monitor on set, was not operating on the day of the shooting, which "further prevented Hannah from knowing what was going on inside the Church," Bowles said.
Baldwin and others had a "duty and responsibility" to call her to inspect the weapon before any scenes involving it were conducted, Bowles said.
"Mr. Baldwin knew that he could never point a firearm at crew members under any circumstances and had a duty of safety to his fellow crew members," Bowles said. "Yet he did point the gun at Halyna before the fatal incident against all rules and common sense."
Baldwin did not accept Gutierrez's offer to train him on the cross draw, a "dangerous" method of carrying a handgun that started in the Old West, Bowles alleged.
In the recent arbitration filing, Baldwin's lawyers argued others were at fault for Hutchin’s death and that his contract protects him from any financial responsibility in the incident.
"This is a rare instance when the system broke down, and someone should be held legally culpable for the tragic consequences," the court document, filed on Friday, states. "That person is not Alec Baldwin."
The filing also includes a look inside the scene and script Baldwin was rehearsing when the gun went off as well as text messages between Hutchins’s husband and Baldwin.
Hutchins was killed by alive round inside the gun, authorities said.
In January, Gutierrez filed a lawsuit accusing the ammunition supplier of including live rounds in a box that was only supposed to contain dummy rounds.
"It cannot be over emphasized that live rounds should never have been on set and our investigation continues to press for the truth on how they got there," Bowles said on Sunday.
Charges have not yet been filed in the shooting.
