Rule #1 in gun safety:
Never point a gun at another human unless you intend to shoot them.
Several camera crew members of the Alec Baldwin feature film Rust walked off the set hours before a prop gun that Baldwin was told wasn’t loaded accidentally discharged and killed a cinematographer while wounding the director.
The camera crew had complained about poor working conditions on the set of the low-budget Western, citing “long hours, long commutes and waiting for their paychecks” as reasons for the walkout, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Times also reported that at least one camera operator complained last weekend to a production manager about gun safety on the set.
