Alec Baldwin wrote on Nov. 8 that film and TV sets should hire police officers to monitor weapon safety on sets after he allegedly fatally shot a cinematographer during filming in late October.

Authorities in New Mexico have said that Baldwin, 63, shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while filming the movie “Rust.” According to court documents, the actor and others told investigators that he didn’t believe that the gun was loaded when it was discharged.
