Alec Baldwin shoots & kills woman with prop gun on film set

A woman had died on a New Mexico film set after being shot with a prop gun by actor and producer Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin discharged the loaded gun whilst filming the 19th Century western picture Rust. The victim is 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was taken to an Albuquerque hospital soon after being shot. Director Joel Souza was also shot and injured on set and was receiving emergency care.

The gun was reportedly filled with a blank cartridge but a spokesperson for the Santa Fe police department revealed that they are currently investigating what kind of projectile was use. The 63-year-old Baldwin did not respond to emails or phone calls on the day of the incident but was later seen outside the sheriff’s office in tears.
