George Clooney says Rust shooting 'infuriating' and 'insane'

Actor George Clooney shared his view on the controversy surrounding the fatal Rust on-set shooting, calling the incident last month in which Alec Baldwin shot a gun that killed a crew member and injured the director “infuriating” and “insane.”

The seasoned actor said he has never heard the term “cold gun” that the assistant director allegedly called out before the fatal discharge to indicate that the weapon was safe to fire. He also said the responsibility for making sure weapons are safe comes down to the “prop person or the armorer, period.”
