Videos show Alec Baldwin firing prop gun with blanks and 'Rust' crew on safety

A series of videos exclusively obtained by NBC News show #AlecBaldwin handling a prop gun and interacting with crew members while filming scenes for '#Rust.' The footage was taken days before Baldwin's prop gun fired a live round of ammunition on set, killing cinematographer #HalynaHutchins.

The videos are among dozens that special prosecutors requested from Rust Movie Productions LLC in the spring and didn’t receive until October, according to a source familiar with the matter. NBC News hasn’t reviewed the rest of the videos.
