'Rust' tragedy: Film's gaffer files negligence suit against Alec Baldwin

India TV News  

The gaffer, or the chief electrician in a film production unit, working on the Alec Baldwin production 'Rust', felt a whoosh of air and heard the loudest shot he had ever heard on set, and then watched helplessly as his friend, the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, faded away in his arms, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday. Hutchins had died of a gunshot wound when a firearm being used by Baldwin during a shoot accidentally discharged what turned out to be a live bullet. Serge Svetnoy, the gaffer, reports 'Variety', provided a detailed, first-hand account of the shooting in a negligence suit against several defendants, including Baldwin, the film's producers, the armourer and first assistant director. The suit is the first to be filed in connection with the tragedy, in which Baldwin fired a Colt.45 containing a live round while setting up for a shot at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.
