The shooting of Alec Baldwin, who accidentally killed cameraman Halina Hutchins and wounded director Joel Sousa in the shoulder on the set of the movie "Rust," preceded at least two previous cases of live shooting, the New York Times reports. According to three former employees of the film, the two incidents occurred on the same day, Saturday, October 16, six days before it happened again and claimed Hutchins' life. Employees complained about the poor safety in the ears of the person in charge of the issue, but there was no improvement.
The three are part of a group of workers who left the set in protest of safety conditions, just hours before Hutchins' death Friday morning, the Los Angeles Times and Deadline Hollywood reported. Both sites quoted several crew members and production associates as saying that six or seven camera operators left the "Rust" set several hours before the tragedy. Both sites also reported that there had been at least one malfunction earlier with the gun used as an accessory.
"We mentioned everything, from non-payment for three weeks, the hotels that took us even though we asked for them in contracts, the lack of Corona safety, and besides, poor firearm safety! Poor safety in the set, period!", Wrote one of the camera crew members on his private Facebook account. , According to Deadline.
Director Sousa, who was rushed to hospital after being injured and released after being treated, made a statement today (Saturday) regarding Hutchins' death.
"I am torn from the death of my friend and accommodation colleague. She was kind, vibrant, incredibly talented, fought for every inch and always pushed me to be better," the director said in a statement.

Local police investigation details revealed that Alec Baldwin was given what was described as a "cold gun" safe to use on the set of his film "Rust," but it contained live bullets when he was shot.
The assistant director who handed the gun to Baldwin did not know it contained live ammunition, according to an affidavit by Santa Fe Sheriff's Detective Joel Canoe.
The production of the film was stopped immediately.
The gun used as an accessory was one of three on a cart outside the building.
One of them was taken by the film's assistant director, who came in and handed it to Baldwin.
"While the assistant director handed the gun to actor Alec Baldwin, (he) shouted 'cold gun,' indicating that the accessory gun did not have live ammunition," the police affidavit filed in court.
During the investigation, questions were raised about working conditions on the set of "Rust," a small-budget western in which Baldwin starred and also co-produced it.
