High-powered Hollywood attorney Gloria Allred is representing the "traumatized" Rust crew member who called 9-1-1 after Alec Baldwin's fatal shooting on the set of his latest movie, and she's vowing to launch her own investigation into the tragedy.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, script supervisor Mamie Mitchell phoned Santa Fe Fire and EMS in a panic last Thursday after two of her colleagues were shot while rehearsing a scene at New Mexico's Bonanza Creek Ranch.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed, while director Joel Souza, 48, was struck in the shoulder but survived.

Allred told Fox News that her client, Mitchell, was "standing very close to Halyna Hutchins and the director, Joel Souza, when both Halyna and Joel were shot."
She said she and her colleagues at her Allred, Maroko & Goldberg law firm "have reason to believe" Mitchell was the first person to call 9-1-1, adding that her client was "a friend and close colleague" of Hutchins.
"She is devastated by the loss of her friend who was an extraordinary woman," Allred told the outlet in an email. "Mamie recently attended the vigil for Halyna and her heart goes out to Halyna's husband and son to whom she has spoken."
Allred revealed that she would be launching her own investigation into the incident, separate from the one being conducted by the Santa Fe County County Sheriff's Office, "because there are many unanswered questions."
Earlier Wednesday, Sheriff Adan Mendoza and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies addressed the public for the first time since last week's fatal shooting.
They explained they had identified the two people who they believe "inspected the weapon" that killed Hutchins and injured Souza, naming Rust head armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant director Dave Halls.
