Authorities have released body camera footage taken from the set of “Rust” where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed.
The footage shows paramedics attempting to save Hutchins’ life. They are also seen treating director Joel Souza’s gunshot wound.
An investigator is seen walking up to actor Alec Baldwin, asking him, “Are you doing okay?”
He responded, “No, I’m not actually.”
Baldwin told the investigators he was the one holding the gun.
He added, “I’m happy to stay right here and do everything you need.”
Baldwin continued, “My hands are shaking.”
Another video that was released shows Baldwin during rehearsal pulling his revolver moments before it was said he fired the gun.
Other footage shows Baldwin and the crew being questioned by investigators.
NBC News reported, “The trove of evidence includes a series of emails from crew members raising serious safety concerns before the shooting.”
The report continues, “There’s also messages from Hanna Gutierrez Reed, the movie’s armorer, to supplier Seth Kenney in which she asked for live ammunition for a different film months earlier which is never allowed on set.”
Kenney reportedly replied, saying, “It’s a serious mistake, always ends in tears.”
