HALYNA’S FATHER: “DON’T BLAME BALDWIN”

Halyna’s dad refuses to blame Baldwin for his daughter’s untimely death – and instead blamed the movie armory crew over the prop tragedy in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Anatoly Androsovych said The Sun Halyna’s young son was “severely affected” by his death, adding that her husband Matthew would decide whether or not to take legal action.

The same Colt pistol that Baldwin accidentally fired that killed Halyna, 42, was reportedly used for target practice hours before the cinematographer died.

An anonymous insider with knowledge of the New Mexico film set is said to have seen some of the cast shoot guns – including the one that killed Hutchins – to go “plinker” to kill time, according to The Wrap.

The report alleged that the guns were fired to shoot tin cans.

Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies called the allegations “unconfirmed” in an interview with The New York Times.

The shooting took place hours later and Halyna died of her injuries in hospital.

DA: “LEGIT GUN”

According to an affidavit signed by Joel Cano of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Warden Dave Halls picked up one of the guns that was on a cart and shouted “cold gun”.

The term “cold firearm” means that the weapon does not contain live ammunition and is safe to handle.

It comes as investigators discovered an “alarming” amount of weapons, including three revolvers, used cartridge cases and ammunition as they searched the film set.

The items were stored in boxes, a fanny pack or left out, according to an inventory released Monday.

Tests are already underway to determine whether the lead projectile recovered from the shoulder of 48-year-old director Joel Souza was fired from Baldwin’s long Colt revolver.

He also specified that a “lead projectile” had been recovered from the shoulder of the injured director Joël Souza and handed over as evidence.

“I think the facts are clear – a gun has been handed to Mr. Baldwin.

“The weapon is functional and fired with live ammunition killing Ms. Hutchins and injuring Mr. Souza,” he said of the fatal shooting.

Two other firearms confiscated as evidence include a single-action revolver which may have been modified and a plastic propeller pistol which has been described as a revolver.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told reporters that of the 600 pieces of evidence, there were 500 rounds on the set of Rust.

They include a combination of blanks, dummy balls and live balls.

The sheriff declined to comment on how the shells managed to be found physically.

Carmack-Altwies said: “There was a huge amount of balls on this board, and we have to find out what type it was.”

She said the term “propeller pistol” could give the misleading impression that the weapon was not real.

“It was a legitimate weapon,” she said. “It was an appropriate weapon in ancient times.”

“EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE”

The prosecutor also revealed that she was not ruling out laying criminal charges, saying: “Everything at this point, including the criminal charges, is on the table.”

The cops are still questioning the people who were on the set when the accident last week.

Carmack-Altwies said: “It will probably be weeks or even months of follow-up investigation that we will need to get to the point of charge.”

Bill Davis, a 21-year police officer who has worked extensively as a master gunsmith, told The Sun that manslaughter charges could be on the table for both gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and deputy director David Halls.

“There’s a lot of neglect and stuff to be done here. Heads are going to fall,” said Davis, who has worked on more than 300 movies and TV shows, including SAW.

“I don’t want to see anyone get in trouble, but if I was still a police officer or a judge, then I would lay criminal charges.”

Davis added: “First of all, I will guarantee that Alec Baldwin will never serve 10 minutes in jail, ever.

“But he was a producer on that show, so the producers are financially responsible. Ultimately, it’s the people who will be sued.”
