let's go straight to christina coleman alec baldwin breaking silence on camera.

baldwin. the district attorney makes it clear now that criminal charges are on the table amid claims of negligence, unprofessionalism and stunning new information about the gun and the crew. let's watch. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the santa fe county sheriff's office. first and foremost, i'd like to offer condolences to the hutchins family, a speedy recovery to mr. souza and the concern of the safety of men and women in the field industry. at october 21, 2:48 p.m., we were dispatched to the ranch after a 911 call advising two people were shot on the movie set. it was later determined that halyna hutchins, the director and joel souza, the director had been shot while rehearsing a scene on the movie "rust." it was determined that actor producer alec baldwin was the person that fired the weapon. we identified two other people that handled and/or inspected the loaded firearm prior to baldwin firing the weapon. these two individuals are armor hannah gutierrez and assistant director davi

baldwin. did he exercise the sufficient care? because under the involuntary manslaughter charges in new mexico, you have to show reckless disregard for someone's rights who ultimately results in the individual's death. so all of that has to be investigated. but that's just on the criminal side. then you have the civil side. already it's being reported that it seemed like the set was not being done this a way, exercising the appropriate amount of caution to insure the safety of the individuals participating in the movie. that really rings very clear that there could be civil, a civil responsibility, civil case that will come out of it, a wrongful death case. but here's the rub, if everyone is employed by the studio, let's say it could be a worker's comp claim. but if mr. baldwin is, obviously, he's an independent contractor, he could be sued individually. the prop manager, unless the prop manager is actually an employee of the studio, then of course that would be swift under worker's compensation. but there will likely be some sor

and-- baldwin retweeted the report. and mourning the loss of the raising cinematographer halyna hutchins and the director joel souza who was injured. and her husband and their son. and reexamining the protocols onset. david: the questions whether the protocols were violated. an assistant director, i'm told and again, i don't know this, but i'm sure the folks out there know it, an assistant director shouldn't have been dealing with a gun. it should have been the prop master, somebody who is specifically authorized to do it. that's not in the purview of an assistant director from what i know. >> right, and there's also an armorer onset. there are those whose job it is to go through these props. and there's also some-- a lot of directors have been sharing their thoughts, james gunn, and expressing shock at what happened and said now we should ban the use of blank in guns and use muzzle flashes in post. a membero went out on "the rookie", effective immediately banning all gunfire onset with air soft gun with cgi muzzle flas

a cart is brought out, alec baldwin take the and he shoots. you have been on 200 movie sets as an armorer. tell me all the mistakes that are made from the get-go with this gun. >> the guns were never checked properly. they were never laid out unload. the ammo should be been all blanks. i don't know when the -- where the armorer was when he grabbed the -- when the a.d. grabbed the gun and handed it to alex baldwin when said he checked it. judge jeanine: the armorer is the daughter of a very famous armorer. she is only 24 years old. there are several mishappens on this set. are you familiar with the mishaps? >> i think there were negligent discharged of the gun. it went off when it wasn't supposed to. judge jeanine: the fact that there is a live round in this gun that's a real gun. why is it even pointed at an individual when i think the rules are you should be 20 feet away and never point at an individual. >> you are correct, judge. i believe this was rehearsal and i think they were lining up a shot and in the shot mr. baldwin was supposed to b

actor baldwin fired the prop gun accidentally hitting halina hutchins who was killed. she was considered a rising star and advocating for conditions on the set. director is expected to be okay. here is a call of halina hutchins who forgave people for their mistakes and challenged them to be their best. >> really generous, really talented, really upbeat. there's never no from her and i think it was this kind of easy going personality at the same time working with her, it's like incredible work ethic. >> baldwin has since tweeted that he has no words to convey his shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident and he's cooperating with police. we will keep you updated on this investigation, eric. eric: thanks so much. alicia. alicia: fda researchers say pfizer's covid-19 vaccine is highly effective at protecting kids age 5 to 11 from the virus and that its benefits outweigh any side effects. the panel of outside experts will meet next week to advise the fda on whether or not to approve it for children. if it is approved the cdc would then do its own review before making

brand new developments this afternoon in the mystery of what really happened on that set at the alec baldwin movie set where halyna hutchins was gunned down. first, this story for you today. turns out that this woman, the head of the national school board association, that lobbied the white house to investigate the riled up parents that they're meeting shortly thereafter got a white house appointment. so right before that, right before attorney general merrick garland decided to take the advice from the letter and called the fbi to keep an eye on the parents. now garcia used this dad as an example of the dangerous uptick that they said existed at these school board meetings. his terrible story coming up. >> it's really scary that our government is going to weaponize themselves against parents? they're using my video across the nation to spread fear? that's wrong. i'm not a bully or racist. i love this country. i have better stuff for it. >> martha: here's a question. how much coordination was there between the nfca, the white house and the department of justice about these troublesome parent

this is not about alec baldwin. this isn't about a person who has been a political sort of figure for lack of a better term. this is a about an industry that has a practice that does not appear to be entirely safe and i do think there is journalists really digging into this which is to the good. howie: and the fact that some of the crew walked off to protest working conditions fits into the larger puzzle. isn't the press milk this to some degree because you this is alec baldwin, he's controversial, he played trump on snl. >> sure, he is one of the post well-known actors in america and he killed somebody on a set. it's a tragic story, it's a horrible story. but it's an incredible story that this happened. and of courses been very vocal and outspoken about the nra. yet he and many other actors made millions and millions of dollars profiting off movies that use gun violence. it's tripled according to the american pediatric association. gun violence tripled in movies over the past three decades and yet baldwin and other

alec baldwin is a director on the set. he owe as duty to look -- common sense -- to look inside the gun to see if there's live ammunition. i don't see how he walks away from this as well. one other point your viewers should know. there were alleged complaints about this gentleman, dave halls and the other young lady, the armorer on another set filmed in georgia. there were serious allegations in that filming that they didn't clear the freeway before a dangerous scene was done that will also weigh into the investigation. i can't imagine no criminal charges in this. >> martha: there's another woman that have surfaced, sarah zachary a prop master, the fourth person according to what we're learning so far that might have handled the gun. so that chain of custody of the gun and who had it, how many people touched it is obviously going to be very important here. there was -- there were people that were not happy about the way safety was being handled on the set. this is actor ian hudson that spoke to tmz. he said he was concerne

i am in alec baldwin fan. i think he is a terrific actor, but what he did here -- here is the test for involuntary manslaughter in new mexico. if you are texting while driving and you kill somebody, that is involuntary manslaughter. it doesn't mean grotesque negligence. it takes recklessness, criminal negligence. clearly, in this case, it is at least as serious as the guy texting and driving and killing the pedestrian. i think there will be at least one charge, maybe three charged. as much as it pains me to say it, deservedly here at >> martha: they were doing target practice at night the night before, and that may be how that ended up -- there were people who walked off the set angry that morning, which raises questions that will be addressed in this investigation. >> jesse: i don't think he's going to get charged, because he is a star, and a democratic star. when there is a high profile case like this, politics will get involved. this guy, he is a lorne michaels guy. he is an nbc icon. he travels in the most

this is a retweet from alec baldwin, before he handed a revolver that he had declared cold to alec baldwin on the set of the film "rust," he should have inspected each round in each chamber according to an affidavit but he did not. what do you make of that bit of information we're getting tonight? >> it's absolutely true. onset there's almost nothing more serious than making sure you inspect guns. is a huge believer in the second amendment myself, i know the most basic principle about guns is assume they are always loaded that is something we teach everyone onset, always assume a gun is loaded, it gets checked, checked again and checked a third time and everybody responsible for it needs to check it including the actor. the actor is the person who's going to be the one ultimately using it and when the gun comes into your hands, you have to be the person to check it and understand the lethality that could come with it. it was a failure on all fronts. >> shannon: investigation as it's underway now, it's early on but there are reports that there were some 500 rounds that were found onset, som

new information released by the sheriff revealed that baldwin was rehearsing a scene, drawing his gun and pinting it at the gun where hutchins was standing. affidavits said according to joel souza, the director injured, someone shouted cold gun when the gun was handed to baldwin meaning it should have been safe to use. others have identified the person that said that as dave horn, the assistant director. one of those with responsibility for checking the weapon. other crew members in the industry have come forward to reveal that they have previously raised concerns on difference productions about hall's approach to safety issue. other are concerned about the person directly responsible for weapons. on the set of "rust", that was hannah gutierrez. neither gutierrez or the assistant director have publicly commented. baldwin's wife posted on instagram a short time ago saying "my heart is with helyna, her husband, her son, family and loved ones and my alec. it's said there's no words because it's impossible to express the shock and heart ache of a tragic accident. heart break, loss, suppor

when baldwin fired it, he hit hutchins in the chest killing her. he was reportedly fired from the movie when a gun unexpectedly discharged injuring a sound member. halz was remorseful for that incident. trial attorney jeff harris who handled two wrongful death suits on film sets including "midnight rider" and the show "the walking dead" says he, like everyone else, wonders how a live round got on to the baldwin set. >> it's still not clear that's what we're talking about because, you know, there's really no reason why a live bullet would ever be on a movie set. so generally speaking, when they're referring to live rounds, they're talking about blanks. but on the other hand, i can't see how a blank could have caused an injury like this. >> authorities are looking into the role that the 24-year-old armorer had on that set. >> sandra: there's more questions than answers about all that still today. matt, thank you. and john, there's one thing for sure and i know so many in our audience are gun people and most gun people are super safety conscious and y

and baldwin, look. i don't know how this will turn out and of course is the tragedy but if you get a gun, you should look through the barrel to see what's in the gun especially if you are going to shoot it. that wasn't done and i think there was a lot of blame spread around. mr. baldwin may have another look at the second amendment so that gun owners know how to use guns. >> greg: if an nra instructor was there instead of of somebody that may be shared his political opinions, the sharing of the political opinions didn't help. this is the whole thing about separation. people have to work together and you gain expertise from different people. who do you think is responsible, kate? >> this bothers me about the whole idea of hollywood and guns. because they want to yell about guns and gun control and it's not so much that they hate people with guns but they don't trust themselves with guns and then they project that onto you and say if you i can't handle that, then you can handle it. and we can't be unsafe
