Alec Baldwin responds to accidental shooting and killing of photographer: He is fully cooperating with the police to investigate the cause of the tragedy

Actor Alec Baldwin released a statement after a prop gun he was operating on set accidentally went off and killed a photographer:

"No words can express the shock and sadness I feel about this tragic accident that has taken the life of Halena Hutchins, a wife, mother and much-respected colleague. I am cooperating fully with the police investigation into how this tragedy occurred. I remain in contact with her husband and offer my full support to him and his family. My heart breaks for her husband, their son, and everyone who knew and loved Halena."

On the 21st local time in the United States, Alec Baldwin, the star of the movie "Rust", accidentally shot photographer Halina Hutchins and director/screenwriter Joel Souza while filming an audition. The 42-year-old female photographer Halina Hutchins died, and director Joel Souza was also seriously injured by the gun.

Currently, Joel Souza has been sent to a medical center for treatment and is not in danger of death. The entire crew has been blocked, the filming of the film has been put on hold, and no related charges have been issued.

This is a serious prop gun accident, because the prop gun should not have been loaded at the audition stage, but the preliminary information now is that the prop gun is not only loaded, but also loaded with non-normal blanks. At present, the police are investigating the type of ammunition and the details of the firing method.
