The
tragic
death
of
cinematographer
Halyna
Hutchins
on
the
sets
of
the
film
Rust
after
being
accidentally
shot
by
actor
Alec
Baldwin
has
sent
shockwaves
across
the
world.
Condolences
have
been
pouring
in
for
the
director
of
the
photography's
family
and
the
rest
of
the
crew
of
the
movie.
However,
the
latest
shocking
development
is
that
Halyna's
unfortunate
demise
was
not
the
only
accident
on
the
sets
of
the
movie
but
hours
before
the
incident,
many
camera
crew
members
had
also
walked
out
from
the
sets
of
Rust.
Actress
Naomi
Harris
shared
a
screenshot
in
her
social
media
handle
wherein
a
former
crew
member
of
Rust
can
be
seen
stating
via
a
text
message
how
many
camera
crew
members
had
given
their
resignation
letters
a
night
before
Halyna
Hutchins'
demise
due
to
poor
working
conditions
in
the
sets
of
the
film.
The
crew
member
further
added
that
the
crew
was
not
given
their
payments
from
the
last
three
weeks
and
were
also
not
given
proper
hotels
despite
asking
for
the
same
in
their
deals.
The
member
further
said
that
there
was
a
lack
of
COVID-19
safety
protocols
on
the
sets
of
Rust
coupled
with
the
poor
gun
safety
that
had
ultimately
cost
Hutchins'
life.
Take
a
look
at
the
screenshot.
The
crew
member
lastly
added
that
the
makers
of
Rust
also
tried
to
replace
the
crew
members
with
union
workers
and
also
called
the
police
authorities
to
presumably
threaten
them.
Amidst
such
serious
surfacing
allegations,
the
makers
of
Rust
also
released
an
official
statement.
The
statement
said,
"The
safety
of
our
cast
and
crew
is
the
top
priority
of
Rust
Productions
and
everyone
associated
with
the
company.
Though
we
were
not
made
aware
of
any
official
complaints
concerning
weapon
or
prop
safety
on
set,
we
will
be
conducting
an
internal
review
of
our
procedures
while
production
is
shut
down.
We
will
continue
to
cooperate
with
the
Santa
Fe
authorities
in
their
investigation
and
offer
mental
health
services
to
the
cast
and
crew
during
this
tragic
time."
Earlier
Alec
Baldwin
also
released
a
statement
on
his
Twitter
handle.
The
tweet
read
as,
"There
are
no
words
to
convey
my
shock
and
sadness
regarding
the
tragic
accident
that
took
the
life
of
Halyna
Hutchins,
a
wife,
mother
and
deeply
admired
colleague
of
ours."
The
actor
had
further
stated,
"I
am
in
touch
with
her
husband,
offering
my
support
to
him
and
his
family.
My
heart
is
broken
for
her
husband,
their
son,
and
all
who
knew
and
loved
Halyna."
