This is like The Crow all over again. A prop gun was fired while filming Alec Baldwin’s new movie, which killed the cinematographer and injured a director… the prop gun that was shot misfired and while its unlikely whatever they put in prop guns for the effect would every seriously injure or kill someone, unfortunately accidents happen.
“The sheriff’s office confirms that two individuals were shot on the set of Rust. Halyna Hutchins, 42, director of photography, and Joel Souza, 48, director, were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor,” a statement from the sheriffs office read, adding: “Ms Hutchins was transported, via helicopter, to University of New Mexico hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel. Mr Souza was transported by ambulance to Christus St Vincent regional medical center where he is undergoing treatment for his injuries.”
No charges have been filed at this time.
