Alec Baldwin is filming a Western in New Mexico that involves guns. Yesterday, while shooting a scene with a prop gun, it somehow went off, killing Halyna Hutchins, Director of Photography, and injuring Director Joel Souza.
Since the news broke, the actor has been silent. This morning he took to social media and wrote, “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
Prayers for all involved in yesterday’s horrific accident.
