The clip, contained in a trove of documents released by the Santa Fe, New Mexico Sheriff’s Office, was taken by Hutchins on the day of the shooting in a mock church at the Bonanza Creek Ranch. It shows Baldwin, 64, rehearsing a “cross draw” on the set of the doomed Western movie.

 

Video apparently taken moments before cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot dead by Alec Baldwin on the set of “Rust” was revealed Monday. 

The clip, contained in a trove of documents released by the Santa Fe, New Mexico Sheriff’s Office, was taken by Hutchins on the day of the shooting in a mock church at the Bonanza Creek Ranch. It shows Baldwin, 64, rehearsing a “cross draw” on the set of the doomed Western movie.

With Hutchins behind the camera, Baldwin is shown sitting in a pew and dressed in 1880s-style Western garb as he rehearses whipping out the F.lli Pietta 45 Long Colt Revolver that apparently misfired and left the cinematographer dead and the film’s director Joel Souza injured. 

The actor Alec Baldwin is seen practising drawing his revolver on the set of the Rust movie in footage released by the Santa Fe county sheriff’s office.

The department has released all files relating to its continuing investigation into the fatal shooting of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western.

Hutchins was killed on the set of the movie in October last year after a prop gun Baldwin was holding was discharged. The footage with the actor drawing the gun was reportedly taken the same day as the incident.

The film’s director, Joel Souza, was also wounded in the shooting on the Bonanza Creek ranch set near Santa Fe.
