The tragic mistake came hours after some workers walked off the job to protest conditions and production issues.

Court records say that an assistant director grabbed a prop gun off a cart at a desert movie ranch and handed it to Baldwin during a Thursday rehearsal for the Western film “Rust.”

When Baldwin pulled the trigger, he unwittingly killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

A 911 call from the scene hints at the panic on the movie set.
