Assignment Task: Alec Baldwin was involved in a tragic shooting event last year on the set of the movie "Rust" that killed a cinematographer and injured the director on the set. This event has led to multiple lawsuits (as you can imagine). Mr. Baldwin just settled the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the cinematographer's family and has now brought his own lawsuit (filed last Friday) against the film's armorer, the first assistant director, the crew member in charge of props, and the primary supplier of guns and ammunition to the film's set location. His suit names Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armorer, who was in charge of handling guns and ammunition on set; Dave Halls, the first assistant director, who handed the gun to Mr. Baldwin that day and declared it safe; Sarah Zachry, the crew member in charge of props; and Seth Kenney, who has been described as the primary supplier of guns and ammunition to the film set. A lawyer for Mr. Baldwin, Luke Nikas, wrote in the complaint that they had not fulfilled their professional duty to maintain safety on set.
