Newly Released 'Rust' Set Videos Show Alec Baldwin Handling Prop Gun, Discussing Safety

Footage Emerges as Grand Jury Considers Recharging Baldwin with Involuntary Manslaughter

  • Newly released videos from the set of 'Rust' show Alec Baldwin handling and firing a prop gun, and discussing safety with the crew, days before the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
  • In the videos, Baldwin is seen firing a prop gun, expressing concern for the safety of crew members, and instructing them to move out of the line of fire.
  • The footage was obtained by NBC News and is among dozens of clips requested by special prosecutors from Rust Movie Productions LLC in the spring, but not received until October.
  • The special prosecutors in New Mexico were scheduled to convene a grand jury to consider recharging Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter, but the judge rescheduled it during a teleconference hearing.
  • Baldwin's attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, have called the potential prosecution 'misguided' and said they will answer any charges in court.
