Alec Baldwin Seen Practicing Firearm Safety in New 'Rust' Set Footage

New Mexico United States of America
A forensic report stated that the trigger of the gun had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer.
A grand jury in New Mexico is set to meet to consider recharging Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter.
Alec Baldwin was seen practicing firearm safety and firing a prop gun on the set of 'Rust' days before the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins.

Days before the tragic shooting incident on the set of 'Rust' that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, actor Alec Baldwin was seen practicing firearm safety and firing prop guns, according to newly released footage. The videos, which were published by NBC News, show Baldwin speaking to crew members about safety precautions and firing a prop gun. These clips are among dozens that have been presented to special prosecutors.

A forensic report released in August found that 'the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver.' This information is significant as it may play a role in the ongoing investigation into the incident.

The release of the footage comes a day before a grand jury in New Mexico is set to meet to weigh recharging Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin's attorneys have called the prosecution misguided. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the grand jury's deliberations will be.
