“#Alec Baldwin Accidentally Kills DP With Prop Gun In Movie Set Tragedy
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWhat a horrific tragedy.<\/p>\n

Alec Baldwin<\/strong> was filming a Western called\u00a0Rust<\/em> in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Thursday when a scene called for him to fire a prop gun. It should have fired harmlessly, being loaded with blank rounds. However, when the gun went off, a projectile came out and struck both the film\u2019s director and director of photography.<\/p>\n

According to TMZ<\/em>\u2018s sources, director Joel Souza<\/strong> was hit in the clavicle and was taken to the nearest hospital by ambulance where he is now being treated for his injuries. However, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins<\/strong>\u2018 injuries were more severe. She was transported by helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, where she died.<\/p>\n
