“Rust” assistant director Dave Halls broke his silence on Nov. 1 over the Alec Baldwin-involved fatal shooting of a cinematographer in late October.

“Halyna Hutchins was not just one of the most talented people I’ve worked with, but also a friend,” Halls said in a statement, referring to the deceased cinematographer. Director Joel Souza also was hit in the shoulder but is recovering, officials said.
