Urgent: Tragedy on Set of Alec Baldwin Movie as Prop Gun Kills 1, Injures Another

Share

Tragedy on the New Mexico set of a movie called Rust starring Alec Baldwin. I’m told the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been killed and another crew member is in critical condition after a prop gun misfired. At least two people have confirmed that Baldwin himself, unhurt, may have been involved in the accident. I’m hearing that Baldwin may have been in possession of the gun when the accident occurred.

Updating…sources say director Joel Souza is in stable condition and talking to police.
