The assistant director on the movie "Rust," who handed a prop gun to Alec Baldwin before the fatal shooting last week, was previously fired from a film production after a gun incident injured a crew member, the movie's production company told CNN. Dave Halls was serving as assistant director on the film "Freedom's Path" in 2019, when a gun "unexpectedly discharged" on set, causing a sound crew member to recoil from the blast, halting production, the production company Rocket Soul Studios said Monday.
