Assistant Movie Director Countersues Alec Baldwin In Aftermath Of Fatal On-Set Shooting

Daily Caller-

Dave Halls, assistant director on the movie “Rust,” countersued Alec Baldwin, and blamed crew members and Baldwin himself for the negligence that led to the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

Halls’ countersuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, and is a response to Baldwin’s lawsuit filed against him in November. Baldwin alleged that Halls, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, prop master Sarah Zachry and ammunition supplier Seth Kenney were responsible for Hutchins’ death, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The newly filed documents reveal that Halls blames Baldwin and the crew for their “active and primary negligence,” which he believes led to the tragedy.

Initial litigation was filed by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell who sued Baldwin and 22 others after the loaded gun was fired on set, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza, according to The Hollywood Reporter. MORE

  2. Is no one blaming the Gun or the ammunition manufacturer?
    You mean a person has to pull the trigger?

    The person who pulled the trigger is clearly at fault and assumed the responsibility for the firearm, the ammunition in the firearm and for firing the firearm.

    Doesn’t matter if you are a gang banger, thief, thug, target shooter or a half-assed, arrogant, POS actor.

    The only point in contention is proving intent. With Baldwin’s fits of uncontrolled anger well documented, was it intentional? It’s a matter of deciding if it’s 1st or 2nd degree murder.
