Alec Baldwin files lawsuit in "Rust" shooting: he's the real victim

No one in their right mind would have Alec Baldwin serve as the starter of a race using a starter's gun after he shot and killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust." Sure, it was apparently an accident when he took a loaded gun that was supposed to be firing blanks, aimed it at Hutchins and pulled the trigger [which he denies, but the gun was tested and he was lying].

On Friday, the actor filed a lawsuit against the armorer and three others in the "Rust" crew for being responsible for Baldwin not checking to ensure it was loaded with blanks, rather than live rounds. It isn't known how the live round(s) got into the weapon, but somehow it did and Baldwin went on a denial tour in which he did everything except directly blame former President Donald Trump.

The suit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court as a cross complaint stemming from a previous suit in which a different member of the crew named Baldwin and the others as defendants.

The new suit is one of a number of others stemming from the tragedy that happened on October 21, 2021 as the case remains under criminal investigation and could result in New Mexico filing charges and Alec Baldwin getting convicted of a crime rather than simple stupidity and total lack of gun safety knowledge.

Baldwin’s cross complaint names armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, first assistant director Dave Halls, prop supplier Seth Kenney, and prop master Sarah Zachry. Attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed, Halls and Kenney did not immediately respond to requests for statements in their clients’ defense. Reuters could not locate an attorney for Zachry and Darrell Brooks was unavailable to represent him as he is serving his own sentence for mass murder at the Waukesha Christmas Parade last November.
