Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed Female Cinematographer, Injured Director on Movie Set

A tragedy occurred on the set of the latest Alec Baldwin movie where the actor reportedly accidentally shot and killed a female cinematographer and injured the director due to a prop gun misfire.

“Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a set in New Mexico on Thursday, accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza,” reported Variety.

The tragic incident reportedly occurred on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Alec Baldwin was shooting his upcoming Western, Rust. Hutchins, who originally remained unidentified, died after being transported via helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital.

Director Joel Souza remains in emergency care after being transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent’s hospital.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Thursday that both Hutchins and Souza “were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 68, producer and actor.”

Sources told Deadline, which initially reported that the incident occurred when Baldwin reportedly “cocked a gun during a rehearsal, unaware that there were live rounds in it, hitting two people, a man and a woman.” Representatives for Baldwin, a rabid anti-gun demagogue, did not immediately respond to media requests for comment.

Hutchins was reportedly hit in the stomach while Souza was hit in the shoulder. No arrests or charges have been filed as a result of the incident, though the Sheriff’s office confirmed that the investigation remains “open and active.”

American Cinematographer referred to Hutchins, a Ukranian native, as a “rising star” in a glowing 2019 profile.

“My transition from journalism began when I was working on British film productions in Eastern Europe, traveling with crews to remote locations and seeing how the cinematographer worked,” she said of her transition into cinematography. “I was fascinated with storytelling based on real characters.”

“Right now, I’m just really interested in finding fruitful collaborations,” she later added. “To me, it’s the collaborative effort between creative minds that elevates each other’s work.”

Alec Baldwin: *spouts holier-than-thou pro-gun-control bullshit*

Also Alec Baldwin: *accidentally shoots & kills someone with a gun because he's an arms-illiterate jackass*

Remember this incident?

On October 12, 1984, the cast and crew of Cover Up were filming the seventh episode of the series, "Golden Opportunity", on Stage 17 of the 20th Century Fox lot. One of the scenes filmed that day called for Hexum's character to load bullets into a .44 Magnum handgun, so he was provided with a functional gun and blanks. When the scene did not play as the director wanted it to in the master shot, there was a delay in filming. Hexum became restless and impatient during the delay and began playing around to lighten the mood. He had unloaded all but one (blank) round, spun it, and—simulating Russian roulette—he put the revolver to his right temple and pulled the trigger,[6] apparently unaware of the danger.

Blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gunpowder into the cartridge, and this wadding is propelled from the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause injury if the weapon is fired within a few feet of the body, particularly a vulnerable spot, such as the temple or the eye. At a close enough range, the effect of the powder gases is a small explosion, so although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his skull, there was enough blunt force trauma to shatter a quarter-sized piece of his skull and propel the pieces into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.[1][7]

Hexum was rushed to Beverly Hills Medical Center, where he underwent five hours of surgery to repair his wounds.[7] On October 18, aged 26, six days after the accident, Hexum was declared brain-dead.

Considering he hit the cinematographer, it sounds like he was directed to shoot towards the camera. Did he fire twice, or did one bullet hit both people?

The story that I read indicated that one projectile passed through the chik photographer and then struck the director.

I can't wait to find out what type of projectile it was.
 
I guess I dont know much about sets . I would have assumed there would never be live ammo in weapons on a set . If they are doing that i'm surprised it doesnt happen more often . Actors are not the kids that were in the chess club in junior high .....

Usually, there is not supposed to be. I have heard, in the case of Brandon Lee, the handgun that killed him had a bullet lodged in the barrel. The arms tech loaded a blank not realizing it and when the blank went off the lodged bullet ejected. Regardless there was piss poor weapons handling. Period. If I could put up with Hollyweird douchebags I would gladly offer my services for a price.
 
Suppose this was a right wing gathering and some people were doing a performance would somebody get arrested? Why would live ammunition be anywhere near those movie making liberals that always profess to hate guns?
 
This was a "life imitates art" moment. This is remarkably similar to the final episode of Perry Mason. I realize most people around today never saw it, but actors are another matter. I'd be surprised if Baldwin hasn't seen Perry Mason: The Case of the Final Fade-Out.

I'd be looking into the history between Baldwin and his victim.

Probably not. Freak accident. Nobody got indicted from Brandon Lee's death. The whole point of a prop gun is that you're supposed to be able to safely point it at someone and pull the trigger. They should be no more deadly than a paintball or airsoft gun. The real fault is the person who put an unsafe prop gun on set.

Absolutely not true.. blanks are handled just like real fire arms on set. They are never pointed at any actors or crew, unless it is a rubber gun that cannot fire. When they do fire, they use different camera angles and tricks to make it look like they are pointed at the other actors.

Actor 'asked "why was I handed a hot gun" after accidentally killing her and wounding the film's director

Every gun should be treated as a "hot" or loaded, gun...fool.

Yep, that is standard protocol in Hollywood.

If that had been done in the filming of The Crowe, Brandon Lee would still be alive. But maybe that's the way it's always done now.
