Reportedly, assistant director Dave Halls, grabbed a prop gun off a cart at a desert movie ranch and handed it to Alec Baldwin during a Thursday rehearsal for the film Rush. “Cold gun,” Halls yelled, declaring the weapon didn’t carry live rounds and was ready to fire. However, that wasn't the case and when he pulled the trigger it hit Hutchins and injured Joel Souza who was standing behind her.
