Due to the labor problems, Souza said, they had only one camera available to use that day, and it was not recording at the time of the incident.
Russell recalled Hutchins 'saying she couldn't feel her legs' and medics treating her as she was bleeding on the floor, investigators said.īoth Souza and Russell acknowledged difficulties on set that day because of a walkout of some members of the camera department over payment and housing.
Investigators also talked with camera operator Reid Russell, who was standing next to Souza and Hutchins at the time of the incident, the affidavit said. Souza recalled Hutchins 'complaining about her stomach and grabbing her midsection' after the shot was fired, the document said. Souza was looking over Hutchins' shoulder 'when he heard what sounded like a whip and then loud pop,' according to the affidavit. A cross draw is when a shooter pulls the weapon from a holster on the opposite side of the body from the draw hand. Souza told them Baldwin was 'sitting in a pew in a church building setting, and he was practicing a cross draw,' the affidavit said. Souza spoke to investigators Friday, according to the affidavit released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office on Sunday.
