Attorney James Brosnahan said that both Alec Baldwin's defense attorneys and New Mexico prosecutors have strong arguments in the fatal "Rust" shooting case.

In an accident similar to Alec Baldwin's shooting of Halyna Hutchins, Lee's co-star fired a prop gun at the 28-year-old actor during filming of The Crow.

Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for a Las Vegas man accused of killing his girlfriend’s 4-year-old son and hiding the body in a freezer.

A defense attorney says he wants a mental health evaluation for a Las Vegas man jailed in protective custody after being accused of keeping a widow and her daughter captive at his home, killing the woman’s 4-year-old son and putting the boy’s body in a garage freezer.

A note that a Las Vegas schoolgirl gave her teacher saying her mother was being held captive and thought the girl's brother was dead led to the discovery of the boy’s body in a garage freezer and the arrest of the mother’s boyfriend on murder and kidnapping charges.

The tragedy that unfolded on a New Mexico movie set when Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun, killing a cinematographer, has led to calls for fundamental change in Hollywood.

Despite some industry reforms following previous tragedies, the federal workplace safety agency in the U.S. is silent on the issue of on-set gun safety. Georgia and Louisiana, where the film industry has expanded rapidly, regulate pyrotechnics on movie sets but have no specific rules around gun use. In addition to attracting some large film productions, the state is home to major production hubs for Netflix and NBCUniversal. California, still the capital of the film industry, requires an entertainment firearms permit, though it's not clear how permit requirements are enforced. Maestas said production companies might think about using post-production effects to mimic the sights and sounds they now rely on prop guns to create.

The film industry and its unions provide guidelines on how to deal safely with prop guns on movie sets.

Morrow and the children were killed while filming a scene set in Vietnam for a film based on the popular television series. Director John Landis and four others were acquitted of involuntary manslaughter charges in a rare case of prosecutors targeting a film production for on-set deaths. After the fatal "Rust" shooting on Thursday, an account run by Lee's sister Shannon tweeted: "No one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set.

Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fired a fatal gunshot from a prop gun that he had been told was safe, seven camera crew members for the movie he was filming walked off the job to protest conditions and production issues that included safety concerns.

Following gun-safety rules is always imperative, even on a movie set.

The death of director of photography Halyna Hutchins on a film set in Santa Fe, N.M., is a reminder that prop weapons can pose a serious risk. But Hollywood history includes only a few such incidents.

Court records show that an assistant director unwittingly handed Alec Baldwin a loaded weapon and told him it was safe to use in the moments before the actor fatally shot a cinematographer.

Actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop firearm on set Thursday, killing the director of photography working on his film and injuring its director, police said.
