Shortly after this photo, a catastrophe occurs.
We see: Hollywood star Alec Baldwin (63) shooting with his crew. There: camerawoman Halyna Hutchins († 42). Baldwin practiced drawing his prop revolver in the film church. But the gun was loaded, one shot went off, killed Hutchins.
Film lighting technician Serge Svetnoy (45) posted the photo on his Facebook page. Wrote: “This is the last photo of Halyna on the set.”

Svetnoy cannot believe the terrible loss. “I’ve worked with her (Halyna Hutchins – editor’s note) on almost ALL of her films. We burned in the sun and froze in the snow. We shared food and water. We were friends.”

The lighting technician described the second that changed everything: “I stood shoulder to shoulder with Halyna during this fatal shot that took her life. I held her in my arms when she died! Her blood was on my hands. “
Svetnoy hands out hard against the other crew members: “Negligence and unprofessionalism are to blame,” said Svetnoy.
He sees two culprits: “The person who had to report that there is a loaded weapon on the premises and did not do so. And the person who should have checked the gun on set before handing it over and who didn’t. “
He is probably referring to weapons master Hannah Gutierrez-Reed (24) and assistant director Dave Halls (30).
Hilaria Baldwin (37), the film star’s wife, also spoke up yesterday. On Instagram, she wrote: “My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her son. With your family and loved ones. And with my Alec. “
