The production of the upcoming western movie Rust came to a tragic halt on Thursday afternoon in New Mexico, after actor and producer Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm that resulted in the death of the film’s cinematographer.
Halyna Hutchins, 42, was reportedly struck in the stomach and was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, where she died, according to Deadline.

“Rule number one, when you’re doing these rehearsals, the firearm, even though it has blanks, it’s never fired at anybody, the angles are always cheated,” Howell says. “Those angles always look to the viewer as though it’s directed at them, but it isn’t, it’s always aimed off. So, the actors train, train, train, and then when the armorer decides that rehearsal is fine and lets everybody know, then you go ahead. So, it’s very, very controlled—health and safety risk assessments before you get there, and everybody is aware when there are live firearms on the set firing blanks.”
“We never point that barrel at another actor, even if it’s a gun that has a block barrel, it’s just good training,” Hunter added. “If you don’t point a gun at another human, it won’t kill them. You’re never supposed to have live ammunition on the set, but just because there’s no live ammunition does not mean that something can get in the barrel of a gun and become a projectile.”
It is unclear if the gun was fired during a scene rehearsal or filming, but Hunter explained that the firearm should never be placed in the actor’s hand until the last possible minute.

Alec killed a woman. Shot her in the stomach.
If there was a labor dispute involving gun handlers, it makes one wonder if a disgruntled worker did this intentionally.
Baldwin is blaming the non union gun handler, too.
Alec Baldwin has killed more people than the January 6 “rioters.” Change my mind.
Why would there ever be live ammo on the set for a prop gun?
Alec the Terrible just got worse.
What were live rounds doing on the set in the first place?
The script writer was also the Director who was also shot.
And we definitely know the name of one of them.
Here are a couple of pictures of Halyna Hutchins and I think most on this forum would be happy to date her:
The gun might be pointed at the camera for a shot that does not allow “cheating” the angle, but I would expect the crew to get out of the line of fire.
What happened is that Baldwin did not check his gun when it was handed to him. He should have known enough to check for live ammunition and not hire out his responsibility for gun safety.
Alec may just be the biggest asshole in the US.
Was it pre-meditated? Did Baldwin have a reason to want this person dead? He has a known history as a hothead, I’m sure they’re looking into everything (sarc!)
He’s a protected class...radical leftist.
Revenge on Baldwin for hiring non union ??
Barwin should be investigated for criminally negligent homicide. That’s why he’s feeling bad - he’s worried about his own skin.
That or digital effects.
Why do they need live ammunition anyway? What am I not understanding?
Maybe Henry Hyde will rise from the dead and stone Alec Baldwin to death. :-P
Proving yet again, Alec Baldwin is nothing more than a Hollyweird phony. I hope he gets charged with something heavy duty.
Exactly. This needs to be investigated. The police need to look to see if Alec had a motive.
Where did the live ammo come from? Did Alec handle the round before it was fired.
There may be fingerprints on the ammo.
