when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the director, Joel Souza.

A probable cause statement from investigators traces safety failures across a 10-day period from misfires on set and a camera crew walkout to the moments before Hutchins' death as a revolver was loaded with ammunition and Baldwin's finger came to rest on the pistol's trigger. “Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set,” the statement said. “He relied on the professionals with whom he worked.”Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwiesthat the set was"really being run pretty fast and loose" and Baldwin should have known there were previous misfires on the set and multiple people had brought up safety concerns.

Baldwin said in his lawsuit that, while working on camera angles with Hutchins, he pointed the gun in her direction and pulled back and released the hammer of the weapon, which discharged.
