Part 5/11:
Eyewitnesses describe Baldwin asking repeatedly why he was handed a "hot gun," indicating he was unaware of its dangerous status at the moment of the discharge. The set was reportedly locked down immediately following the tragedy, with ambulances arriving swiftly. Hutchins's death on set echoes past Hollywood tragedies, notably the death of Brandon Lee in 1994 during the filming of The Crow, which was also caused by a firearm mishap.
