Dave Halls, the assistant director on the set of "Rust," had been fired back in 2019 after a separate gun incident that occurred on the set of another film.
The production company for the film "Freedom's Path," on which Halls served as an assistant director, confirmed to Newsweek that he had been fired after a gun was "unexpectedly discharged" on set and halted production.
The incidents on the sets of "Rust" and "Freedom's Path" are not the only ones involving prop safety that entangled Halls.
