Alec Baldwin sues 'Rust' crew members for Halyna Hutchins shooting death
TMZ.com
Alec Baldwin has taken the offense in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins...while he remains under the D.A.'s microscope for possible criminal charges, he has filed a lawsuit against some team members, arguing that they are to blame -- not him.
Alec accuses 4 crew members -- head gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, assistant director Dave Halls, props master Sarah Zachry and weapons supplier Seth Kenney -- of failing to protect the set filming.
According to the lawsuit, "This tragedy occurred because live ammunition was delivered to the set and loaded into the gun."
It continues, "Gutierrez-Reed did not carefully check the bullets or the gun, Halls did not carefully check the gun and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it over to Baldwin , and Zachry did not disclose that Gutierrez-Reed acted recklessly off set and posed a safety risk to those around him."
