The final words Halyna Hutchins said to the Rust crew has been revealed as the world continues to come to terms with the tragic accident which took her life.
Last month, Baldwin, 63, discharged a gun on the set of the film Rust, accidentally killing 42-year-old cinematographer Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza, 48.
In a new report by the Los Angeles Times, interviews with 14 crew members has helped to piece together what happened in the mother-of-one’s final moments.
According to the publication, Hutchins told a boom operator: ‘Oh, that was no good. No, that was no good. That was no good at all.’
Hours later, she was pronounced dead.
It was revealed that the fatal shooting took place as Baldwin had been preparing for a shootout scene which was taking place inside a church.

The actor and the crew were attempting to get their angles right as the 30 Rock star held a .45-caliber Colt revolver, the newspaper reported.
‘So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it and go, “Bang!”, the actor reportedly stated before the accident happened.
According to reports, the prop gun was supposed to be loaded with dummy rounds and the actor had been told it was a ‘cold gun’.

The mortally wounded Hutchins stumbled backward and fell into the arms of the chief electrician on set as blood poured out of her chest.
At the same time, director Joel Souza dropped to the floor after being struck by the same round.
‘What the f**k was that? That burns!’ Souza yelled, according to the publication.
Meanwhile, Baldwin put the gun down on a pew and repeatedly said: ‘What the f**k just happened?’

The new report came days after investigators confirmed Baldwin was the last one to hold the gun that killed Hutchins.
The Boss Baby star was handed the prop gun by assistant director David Halls, who took the revolver from a tray set up by armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. It was said the gun was first taken out of a safe in a truck by prop master Sarah Zachry.
