A tragedy occurred on the set of the latest Alec Baldwin movie where the actor reportedly accidentally shot and killed a female cinematographer and injured the director due to a prop gun misfire.
“Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a set in New Mexico on Thursday, accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza,” reported Variety.

The tragic incident reportedly occurred on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Alec Baldwin was shooting his upcoming Western, Rust. Hutchins, who originally remained unidentified, died after being transported via helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital.


Director Joel Souza remains in emergency care after being transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent’s hospital.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Thursday that both Hutchins and Souza “were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor.”

Sources told Deadline, which initially reported that the incident occurred when Baldwin reportedly “cocked a gun during a rehearsal, unaware that there were live rounds in it, hitting two people, a man and a woman.” Representatives for Baldwin, a rabid anti-gun demagogue, did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.

Hutchins was reportedly hit in the stomach while Souza was hit in the shoulder. No arrests or charges have been filed as a result of the incident, though the Sheriff’s office confirmed that the investigation remains “open and active.”

Who the f*** takes live rounds to a movie set and leaves them lying around, or leaves a loaded weapon lying around???

"A rabid anti-gun demagogue"...but he'll make money off movies containing gun violence...?

Yeah thats probably a second degree felony in the State of New Mexico? Please correct me if im wrong.

RIP to the deceased and condolences to their family.

And, Fuck you Alec Baldwin.

This is why we see such poor gun handling in movies, actors and directors alike dont know shit about gun safety.

This is why Keanu Reeves trained so damn hard for the John Wick series, SAFETY.

From the flaky description have to wonder whether it was a single shot that struck two people or if he fired more than once. The hypocrisy of making millions off portraying firearm use while being 'rabidly anti gun' seems about right for the rules for thee but not for me crowd.

If that was an actual prop gun used in the movie, with live ammunition, on set, unsupervised, the armorer is probably going to take the fall.

I think the harsh words against Alec Baldwin are uncalled for at this stage. He was doing a job with tools given to him. We don't know all the facts yet. He is going have some heavy stuff to deal with. Condolences to everyone involved in this terrible accident.

I have to echo this - the prop guys or who-ever got and supplied the guns should get a PK - and then be held accountable - accessory to manslaughter. And the actor as well - not checking before handling the firearm - also needs a PK.

Agree with that but stand by my comment re the hypocrisy of advocating against and vilifying guns and their owners while using them to make buckets of money.
