My local news site just published this, taken from the Associated Press:
A crew member says she has raised safety concerns in the past about the assistant director who authorities say unwittingly handed actor Alec Baldwin the prop gun that killed a cinematographer on a film set.
Crew member Maggie Goll said in a statement that she filed an internal complaint with the executive producers of Hulu’s “Into the Dark” series in 2019 over concerns about assistant director Dave Halls’ behavior on set. Goll said in an email Sunday that Halls disregarded safety protocols for weapons and pyrotechnics and tried to continue filming after a crew member had “slipped into a diabetic fugue state.”
Halls has not returned phone calls and email messages seeking comment.
Baldwin fired a prop gun on the New Mexico set of the film “Rust” Thursday, killing 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her.
The gun Baldwin used was one of three that a firearms specialist, or “armorer,” had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to court records. Halls grabbed a gun off a cart and handed it to Baldwin, indicating that the weapon was safe by yelling “cold gun,” court papers say. Instead, it was loaded with live rounds, according to the records.
Baldwin, 63, who is known for his roles in “30 Rock” and “The Hunt for Red October” and his impression of former President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” has described the killing as a “tragic accident.”
Rust Movie Productions did not answer emails seeking comment Friday or Saturday.
Baldwin, who is a producer on “Rust,” met with Hutchins’ husband and 9-year-old son Saturday at a hotel in Santa Fe where the actor had been staying during filming. Baldwin and Hutchins’ husband can be seen embracing in a photo published by the New York Post. Another shows a defeated-looking Baldwin walking on the hotel grounds pushing a luggage cart.
Goll, a prop maker and licensed pyrotechnician, said in her email that Halls’ behavior on set has concerned her in the past.
She said that, during work on “Into the Dark,” Halls didn’t hold safety meetings and consistently failed to announce the presence of a firearm on set to the crew, as is protocol. The assistant prop master admonished Halls several times for dismissing the actors and actresses before they had returned weapons to the props table, she said.
“The only reason the crew was made aware of a weapon’s presence was because the assistant prop master demanded Dave acknowledge and announce the situation each day,” she wrote.
She filed an internal complaint with the executive producers of Blumhouse Productions, she said.
“To my knowledge nothing was done after my complaints,” she wrote.
“I am gutted at not pushing harder for greater accountability and safety. Many of us have messaged each other wondering the same thing: is there something we could have done then that would have prevented the tragedy?” she said. “It is a horrible feeling.”

A lot is coming to light about how insecure this set was. We forgot the lesson of Brandon Lee - the price of safety on a movie set is eternal vigilance. The price paid is in lives. Well the people then forgot the lessons of Vic Morrow. Why do people ignore tragedy so often?

I wouldn't at all be surprised if someone tried to do this to Alec Baldwin on purpose.
There's a whole cult of morons that consider him one of their enemies.

I want to say too far-fetched, but who TF knows with all the things we've seen these last couple of years? One of many reasons why my long term plans one day is to relocate countries.

Dude, if it were easy to just move to another country, I would have become a Canadian like 20 years ago. I wish you nothing but luck.

It's such that it's no longer choosing a political side that would make me feel better. I've seen both be nasty and even destructive in the last couple years. THAT is an Americans problem. Hence why a start somewhere else would probably be the best case scenario for my sanity. But...the stuff you said and all that.
