A Carnival Of Errors Led To Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Shooting

A Santa Fe County Sheriff's deputy briefly talks with a security guard at the entrance to the Bonanza Creek Ranch — where "Rust" had been filmed — in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Oct. 15. “You had to have more than one safety measure fail for that to happen,” Doug McQuarrie, a former NAVY Seal who’s helped bring firearm scenes to life on several film sets, told HuffPost. “I’ve never seen that on a set.” Alec Baldwin speaks on the phone in the parking lot outside the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 21 after he was questioned about the shooting. Despite the assistant director’s call that the gun was “cold”, police affidavits indicate it held a single live round in the cylinder. He should know better.” It’s unclear whether Baldwin, Gutierrez Reed, Halls or anyone else will face criminal charges in the “Rust” shooting.
