A ‘Rust’ script supervisor said in a 911 call that the assistant director was ‘supposed to check the guns’

Insider says the Sante Fe Sheriff’s Office released the audio of the Thursday 911 call between dispatch and the script supervisor for the movie “Rust,” where a prop gun fired by actor Alec Baldwin killed the film’s director of photography.

“We need some help,” Mamie Mitchell told the operator, according to the released 911 call. “Our director and our camerawoman have been shot.”

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died after actor Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm loaded with a “live round” Thursday while filming at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Director Joel Souza was injured.
