'Rust' assistant director takes aim at Alec Baldwin countersuit (Hey SoCal. Change is our intention.)

Baldwin's countersuit is one of several legal actions stemming from the on-set shooting death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Halls also alleges still unidentified “Roe” defendants breached a contract to insure him against liability in the case. Halls’ motion asks that Baldwin’s claims against him for equitable indemnification and contribution be stricken. Baldwin alleges that “Rust” crew members negligently put live ammunition in the gun that he was holding when it discharged during rehearsal, killing the 42-year-old [Hutchins](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5035099/) and wounding director Joel Souza, now 49. [Baldwin himself had filed a countersuit](https://heysocal.com/?s=rust+baldwin) for negligence and indemnity against Halls, Zachry, Kenney and Kenney’s company on Nov. that Halls intentionally brought live ammunition to the set, that he intentionally loaded the gun with any live ammunition of any type, that he objectively knew the gun was loaded with live ammunition prior to the incident or that he intentionally failed to check the gun,” Halls lawyers argue in their court papers. Halls’ lawyers maintain in their court papers that Baldwin is not liable to Mitchell on any basis and that therefore the cause of action for indemnification should be dismissed.
