2021 'Rust' movie set was 'Unsafe' as filming began that turned into 'Chaos'

Santa Fe, New Mexico. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed on the "Rust" western movie set in 2021. Actor and producer Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger of that gun aimed in the direction of Halyna... The Santa Fe county sheriff's office has handed over their 550 page investigation to the Santa Fe district attorney. It doesn't look good for all involved because the safety regulations weren't followed at the start of production. 

The biggest mistake was hiring the inexperienced armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed who handled prop guns. Real bullets were discharged on the film set.!! Safety concerns from the production team were completely ignored. It was chaos right from the start.
