Alec Baldwin Shoots and Kills Cinematographer, Wounds Director

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in an incident involving a prop gun on the set of “Rust,” an Alec Baldwin film that was shooting in New Mexico on Thursday.

Baldwin fired the gun, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office. The film’s director, Joel Souza, was also hit, and was receiving emergency care at a hospital in Santa Fe.

No charges have been filed.

Hutchins’ death was confirmed by the Sheriff’s office and by the International Cinematographers Guild, Local 600.

“We received the devastating news this evening, that one of our members, Halyna Hutchins, the Director of Photography on a production called ‘Rust’ in New Mexico died from injuries sustained on the set,” said John Lindley, the president of the guild, and Rebecca Rhine, the executive director, in a statement. “The details are unclear at this moment, but we are working to learn more, and we support a full investigation into this tragic event. This is a terrible loss, and we mourn the passing of a member of our Guild’s family.”

Next time, Jack, write a goddamn memo. 

Some things here don’t respond well to bullets.  

“How do you make a crew wanna get off a movie set?”   Hfro 

Can movie buffs explain to me how the fuck this has happened on more than one occasion?

Carelessness on the part of the prop crew and the actors.

But why do the prop guns fire projectiles?

This is a horrific story. The cinematographer was just beginning to make inroads in the business and to have her life and hard work and dreams end with an unexpected blast of a bullet and the accompanying pain, shock, blood… it’s unfathomable. How this happened is the big question. And certainly secondary to the shooting victims, just like that, Alex Baldwin is now forever intertwined with this tragedy, with this the headline of his 40-plus year career. 

Again, how does this happen?

At least they'll forget about his abusive relationship with Kim Bassinger.

He’s a deeply flawed guy, also a recovering addict, frequent angry guy and once called his then teen daughter a “pig” on a phone call. I’m sure others will criticize him for a myriad of things.

Original, insightful joke that no one has ever said before! Lol!

one guest speaker at elementary school brought a gun loaded with blanks and proceeded to blow apart a can from several feet away.  those things are still dangerous. 

think he also did a whip demonstration. 

Way back in ‘84, model/actor Jon-Erik Hexum was screwing around on the set of his TV show and took a prop gun with blanks and playfully put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The concussion of the wadding was still enough to push pieces of his skull into his brain. I remember news stories talking about how his family donated his organs. A co-worker said he wanted his chin.

I literally just saw that am still trying to process.

In such a weird year, I think this is easily the weirdest story.

It would suck to accidently kill your co-worker. I feel bad for him.

But losing a family member this way would be unfathomable. I especially feel bad for her poor family.

At least he didn’t drop a helicopter on her?

I just don’t get how you accidentally shoot TWO people with one prop gun.

Asshole. IMO his best scene period.

I am God.

My Granddad's youth gun training consisted of "always hold the barrel down and never point it at anything you don't want to kill"  -- that has always worked for me.

You ask me if I have a god complex?

Let me tell you something….

The hunter’s education class I had to take back in the 90’s was basically the same, but they drug it out over however many hours to justify the minimal cost of the course.

Same thing happened to Brandon Lee on the set. Tragic. IMO Brandon Lee would have been awesome as an action star. The guy that fired the round never got over it.

Cover Up....Jennifer O'Neill was pushing 40 and hot as fuck in that show.  This picture does not do her justice from that show.

Common sense safety procedures we all learn as kids on the ranch don't apply on the movie set apparently. 

But we know which way the gun safety lectures flow.

Others have touched on some of what's discussed in the linked article.  Suffice to say that blanks can be dangerous.  But, like another poster, I'm curious to know how two people were killed/injured.  It'll be interesting to get the details.
