"Oh my God," Levin replied after hearing Maher's theory.
The shooting, in which director Joel Souza was wounded, occurred on the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. At the time, many movies and TV sets were returning to some normality since the start of the pandemic, with most of them having COVID-19 protocols in place. In the ensuing investigations of the circumstances before the shooting of Hutchins, it was found that crew members had complaints about the conditions on the set. These included missing firearms safety protocols, missing medics from the set during construction and long hours. However, one thing that apparently was not a problem for the crew was the COVID-19 safety protocols, as Maher suggested. In fact, there was concern about adequate protection against the disease.
As reported by Deadline, days before the shooting, a number of the film's crew members quit. A member of the camera crew listed the reasons for quitting in a private"We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of COVID safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety! Poor on-set safety period!" the person wrote.
