Filming for Rust, a Western set in 1880s Kansas which stars Alec Baldwin, was only the second time Gutierrez-Reed had lead a productions firearms department.

A petition calling to ban the use of live weapons on film sets has gathered over 10,000 signature in two days after a cinematographer was shot dead when Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun.

Halyna Hutchins husband shared a touching tribute to his wife following her tragic death on Thursday captioned: her passion and vision, and her legacy is too meaningful to encapsulate in words.

Experts say that Alec Baldwin and the Rust crew ignored several critical gun safety rules that could have avoided the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie set Thursday.

The workers had been complaining about the fact they had to stay overnight in Albuquerque - an hours drive from the set - and not Sante Fe because production wouldnt pay for their hotels.
