This may be just the start.

Here’s Hawley’s memo to the cast and crew ofThe Rookie:

The tragic events in New Mexico yesterday have shaken us all, and our hearts go out to the friends and family of Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza.

As of today, it is now policy on The Rookie that all gunfire on set will be Air Soft guns with CG muzzle flashes added in post. There will be no more “live” weapons on the show. The safety our cast and crew is too important. Any risk is too much risk.

As always, if you ever feel unsafe or witness anything that concerns you, please don’t hesitate to report it.

My door is always open.

In all honesty this should have been standard practice industry-wide ever since Brandon Lee.

'The Rules' exist for a very good reason. As a firearm owner, enthusiast, and zealous defender the amount of negligence that occurred here is staggering.
