Dave Halls, the assistant director on the movie “Rust” who handed a prop gun to Alec Baldwin before the fatal shooting last week, had been fired from a previous movie after a crew member was injured when a gun “unexpectedly discharged.” Court documents show the shot that killed Halyna Hutchins was fired as Baldwin was practicing drawing his gun. CNN National Correspondent Gary Tuchman has Larry Zanoff, a motion picture armorer and weapons safety specialist, walk us through the safety precautions that should be in place whenever there’s a weapon on a movie set. Plus, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded to the massive Facebook document dump saying “we are seeing a coordinated effort to selectively use leaked documents to paint a false picture of our company.” Scott Galloway is a marketing professor at the NYU Stern School of Business. He tells Anderson Cooper what impact Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen’s testimony could have on Facebook’s future.

Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident and transported to a local hospital. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation “remains open and active” and Baldwin said he’s “fully cooperating with the police investigation.” No charges have been filed. Hollywood weapons expert Larry Zanoff walks Anderson Cooper through how prop guns are usually handled on film sets and the safety guidelines that go along with them. Plus, experts say the notebook found near Brian Laundrie’s remains in a Florida nature reserve park could shed some light on the details surrounding his disappearance and the violent death of his fiancé, Gabby Petito. CNN National Correspondent Randi Kaye joins AC360 to give an update on the investigation.

The FBI announced “what appears to be human remains” were found in the search for Gabby Petito’s fiancé, Brian Laundrie. A notebook and backpack that appear to belong to Laundrie were also found in an area “that up until recently have been under water.” Lawrence Kobilinsky is a forensic scientist and a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He tells Anderson Cooper what the next steps in identifying the remains will be and says if a body was submerged in water “decomposition would have been slowed down, as compared to a body above ground.” Plus, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney blasted former President Trump’s ally Steve Bannon for refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. She said his claim of executive privilege is not only invalid but suggests the former President was “personally involved” in the planning and execution of the events that day. Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff is a member of the House select committee. He joins AC360 to discuss Bannon’s refusal to cooperate.

The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol is moving forward to hold Trump ally Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. The contempt report will now be referred to the House for a vote. If it passes there, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will certify the report to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Rep. Elaine Luria is a member of that committee. She tells Anderson Cooper the message the vote sends is “the law applies to everyone and Mr. Bannon should understand that he can’t evade a subpoena from Congress.” Plus, Alex Murdaugh, the embattled attorney accused of misappropriating millions of dollars in funds meant for the family of his longtime housekeeper, was denied bond. CNN Correspondent Amara Walker gives AC360 details about what happened in court and what’s next for Murdaugh.

Colin Powell, the first Black U.S. secretary of state, died from complications from Covid-19. His leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st century. Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body’s immune response, as well as Parkinson’s. Madeleine Albright preceded Powell as Secretary of State. She joins AC360 to remember her friend and says he was one of the “warmest, kindest, smartest, and patriotic" people she had met. Plus, Bob Woodward interviewed Powell last summer for what is believed to be his final interview. He talked about his health saying “don’t feel sorry for me” and said the greatest person he’s ever known was his wife of 58 years, Alma.
