Mr Baldwin said in a statement: “My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”Īccording to an affidavit, he had been handed the loaded firearm by an assistant director and told the gun was “cold” - or without live ammunition - before firing it. He said in a statement that he was “gutted” for the death of Ms Hutchins. Joel Souza, the director who co-wrote Rust with Mr Baldwin, was also injured on Thursday and was later released from hospital. One anonymous worker told ABC News that crews previously raised gun safety concerns with producers, also that there had been two accidental firearms discharges before the fatal incident, including with the stunt double. The assistant director who handed Mr Baldwin a loaded prop gun is an industry veteran who’d been the subject of safety complaints for at least two years, according to former on-set coworkers. Her father, meanwhile, said in an interview that Mr Baldwin was not to blame for her death. Many grieved for Ms Hutchins, amid reports that a stunt double for Mr Baldwin reportedly fired two rounds of live ammunition days before the Hollywood actor fatally shot Ms Hutchins, aged 42, on Thursday. Hundreds have attended a vigil for cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in Albuquerque, New Mexico - not far from the Rust film set in Santa Fe, where she was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin, the Hollywood actor, during an apparent on-set incident.
