The revolvers that were intended to be used lay outside of the chapel in which the scene was filmed. Halls took them from a cart and handed them directly to Alec. The Departed actor was assured that the guns were safe to use, and Halls even yelled: “cold gun.” This is a phrase used on set when weapons are involved to signal that they’re safe to use.

In an unfortunate turn of events, the gun was not in fact cold, but it was instead filled with live rounds. After Baldwin shot with it during a scene, Souza ended up wounded, and Halyna Hutchins deceased. Another person involved in the fatal shooting in addition to Halls was the film’s armorer Hannah Gutierrez. She was the one that prepared the guns outside of the building on a cart. Halls took them and took the inside directly to Baldwin. None of them knew that the gun was filled with live ammunition, which led to the fatal accident.

While everyone was in shock, it was the film’s script supervisor, Mamie Mitchel who called the police and seek help. Talking about the event she said: “I ran out and called 911 and said, ‘Bring everybody, send everybody. This woman is gone at the beginning of her career. She was an extraordinary, rare, very rare woman.”
