Alec Baldwin Discharged Prop Gun That Killed Cinematographer On Movie Set

It has now been confirmed that actor Alec Baldwin was the person who discharged the prop gun that killed a female crew member, who was revealed as the cinematographer, and injured a male crew member on the set of Baldwin’s upcoming Western movie, Rust. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department was called to the Bonanza Creek Ranch movie set earlier today, responding to a 911 caller who reported the shooting. A statement was issued by a spokesperson for Rust that said, “There was an accident today on the New Mexico set of Rust involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks.” Earlier reports also stated that an active investigation was being conducted regarding both how the gun was used and what was fired from it.

The initial reports revealed what was known at the time, which was that two crew members were shot and injured on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set and taken to a hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the film is shooting. However, it was later confirmed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department that the woman had sadly succumbed to her injury. Details on the incident are still developing currently, but some new pieces of information have now been confirmed.

Deadline has reported that Baldwin is confirmed as the person who discharged the prop gun on set. The woman who died as a result, has also been confirmed as Halyna Hutchins, the movie’s director of photography. The male crew member, who was injured and is still being treated at the hospital, is now confirmed to be the 48-year-old director of Rust, Joel Souza.

As the incident is still being investigated, details are slowly pouring in about what exactly happened on set of the upcoming film, which stars Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, Frances Fisher, and Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles alongside Baldwin. The production on Rust has obviously been paused for now, and there are hundreds of questions that linger regarding the tragic and unexpected event. At the time of writing, there have no further updates on the director’s condition, other than the fact that he remains in the hospital and is receiving emergency care.

It’s difficult to imagine or guess how exactly the incident occurred or what will come out of the investigation, but this will certainly highlight how seriously people’s safety on movie sets should be taken. It seems clear that a responsibility was either overlooked or neglected, but the details will be released in time. And until then, it would be unfair and unwise for anyone to begin making assumptions or putting blame on anyone for what happened.
