“Baldwin decided to play “Russian roulette” with a loaded gun, did not check it and did not have the weapons specialist do it. He allowed an unattended gun with live ammunition to be found on the set,” say the relatives of the deceased Halyna Hutchins, whom he fatally shot on the set of the movie “”. The actor is facing a civil lawsuit brought by the Hutchins family.
Halyna Hutchins’ family is suing Alec Baldwin
According to the website, Halyna Hutchins’ relatives filed a civil lawsuit against Alec Baldwin last Wednesday. They are demanding compensation of an unspecified amount for all the damage that Baldwin allegedly caused them, not only leading to the woman’s death, but also earlier, before the fateful shooting, threatening her life. They argue that, as the producer of the entire project, he was directly responsible for what happened on the set of “Rust”.
He was to be responsible for employing people on set who would then take care of safety, among others. actors and technical staff of the film. The security technicians employed were not experienced, people were selected who offered the cheapest service, and not necessarily the best one. Lack of experience and a “cost-cutting” approach meant that the lives of everyone on the set were indirectly at risk – rush and mobbing led to carelessness, which led to a fatal mistake, i.e. a gun loaded with live ammunition.

On the set, weapons and real ammunition were not properly supervised, the weapon was given to Baldwin by the director’s assistant, who should not have done that at all, safety rules were not followed and ignored, and in the scene that was shot at that time, there was supposed to be no gun shot – despite it was Baldwin who aimed and fired the gun at Halyna Hutchins. Injury or death was more than a mere risk – it was the result of playing with death, the lawsuit said.
. The woman was sentenced to 18 months in prison for unintentionally causing death. Baldwin is scheduled to appear in court in July for another hearing regarding his involvement in the case.
