i think there are several people accountable in this case. >> what about alec baldwin as a producer on the film? >> i mean, i can't speak to that. i think as a human, i have no doubt he's traumatized, you know, probably beyond anything any of us can reckon with. as a producer and as a seasoned veteran in the movie industry, i think, he probably maybe more than anyone else on the set who sounds like the median age was in their 20s, he should have known that maybe handing you a gun and saying it is cold isn't the same as several people showing you an empty gun. i think obviously things in the wake of covid have been altered, you know, in trying to kind of pair down people's exposure to the virus, things are being -- corners are being cut for pandemic reasons, but this is not -- this is not a corner you cut. so i don't know. i don't really want to speak to a culpability, i just think everybody should have known better on that set, everybody. >> yeah. it is a very important question that you raised too about potential corners cut during the pandemic as well. rachel morrison, thank you so m

this is what the founder >> we learned today and reported exclusively that the gun that alec baldwin used to tragically, accidentally shoot haylna hutchins had been used earlier in the day with target practice. there's a lot of down time on sets. you probably know this. there is this pastime that crew members flin -- plinking. they shoot at beer cans. this is live ammunitions. this is the day that haylna hutchins was killed. >> we have new information about dave hols, the assistant director. he was fired in 2019 after a crew member was injured in another gun safety incident. production of "rust" is on hold indefinitely and possibly it'll never see the light of day. chloe is with us now. some of the pieces are coming together, even as there are so many questions to be answered. >> to hear the report about these crew members out doing target practice, plinking as we talk about it. when we talk to rust productions, they point us to a statement saying safety has been their top priority and concern. they're doing an investigation into this. they still don't know the details as to what cau

baldwin. it was functional and fired a live round, killing ms. hutchins and injuring mr. souza. >> reporter: dave halls telling detectives he failed to check the firearm properly. a search warrant saying he could only remember seeing three rounds. he advised he should have checked all of them but didn't the armorer also speaking to authorities in the saying she checked the dummies and ensured they were not live rounds. >> we suspect there was other live rounds found on the set. i won't comment further on how they got there. >> reporter: two crew members alleging few tear resident mishandled weapons on a previous film project with nicolas cage. in allegations first reported by the wrap, stu pwrupl baugh saying she just fired off her round. it sounded like she fired at the ground and nick laid into her. she is the most inexperienced armorer i have ever worked with. >> when a gun goes off on set it is not good. nobody has ear protection. unfortunately in that scenario, nick was walking by and got pretty upset. >> it happened twice on our set. the second time i asked her to b

he is the one who according to police reports handed the weapon to alec baldwin. and joining us now to discuss this, corporate media reporter at "the los angeles times" meg james. meg, this is incredibly, incredibly disconcerting, this possibility that live rounds were not only on the set, but they were -- these guns were being used for target practice. >> right. i mean, this story is really just a tragedy in so many ways. and in my conversations with crew members, last week, and over the weekend, you know, i -- there was a common theme that emerged, it was -- there was a big rush on the production, and they felt that there was really a disregard for safety. and with every new detail that comes out, it just seems to become more horrific. it is really sad. >> if you can talk a little bit more about that. you spoke to a very experienced armorer who said he actually turned down the job of armorer on this film because he had concerns. what were the red flags that he saw after he spoke to the producers about the film. >> this was a really interesting story. i spoke wit

that's what they will be looking at for baldwin. for halls who passed the gun for him, different standard there. he was on the firearms safety end of things. and it was his job to make sure baldwin was getting a gun with no live ammo. and the armorer becomes the other potential target in the case. the sheriff kept talking about the key to this case is who put live ammunition in the gun? and the armor her, she's the person in charge of checking the guns every day, securing the guns, as joey said. and, obviously, that was not done. the standard is did you do something without due carry and sir couple inspection. if you did that, that gets voluntary manslaughter. the question is, will it rise to that level? >> it seems like there are so many layers here where things went wrong. from there being live ammunition on the set to the fact we learned cast members were blinking, they were shooting beer cans, to did the a.d. or the armorer check the gun. does anyone in an oversight role who may be aware there have been problems, what responsibi

>> what about -- what about by alec baldwin then. he fired the gun and you're saying this gun wasn't supposed to be fire d. >> i'm 100% sure the gun was not supposed to be fired. and i do think that it is a very positive sign that alec baldwin, according to the sheriff and the district attorney has been interviewed by them and possibly been reinterviewed and it is important that he disclose exactly what happened. i think it is too late to call it an accident or too early to call it an accident. i don't think we should come to a conclusion of that it is as whether it is a criminal act. clearly when the district attorney said yesterday, brianna, well, you know, she's not ready to say whether it is negligence, she has a criminal standard of proof. >> was alec baldwin wrong in your opinion firing that gun? >> i'm ready to come to a conclusion that it is negligence, gross negligence, reckless endangerment from a civil standard, which only requires a preponderance of the evidence. >> gloria allred, thank you so much for being with us. >> t

for the first time since the fatal shooting on alec baldwin's movie "rust," one person is speaking out saying he felt vulnerable during his scenes, especially the shooting scenes. >> when the rounds were released when they shot at me, i actually did feel the blanks hitting my face and my body. and i could feel the wind from the shotgun, you know, being discharged. it was heavy. it was strong. i would talk to my fellow cast members afterwards and we all agreed how intense that was and how scary and real it was. >> hudson also stressed some of the more seasoned actors took extra precautions with weapons to make sure they weren't loaded. we'll have a lot more of that interview ahead. >> this morning, there are new developments with the shooting investigation. the d.a. in new mexico says she hasn't ruled out criminal charges in cinematographer halyna hutchins's death. she said prop gun is misleading and the gun was a real gun. it was seized with two ammo boxes and loose ammo from a tray. chloe melas joins us now. real guns. real ammo. real possible charges. >> we are learning more about th
