AFP [LOS ANGELES] US actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that killed a cinematographer and wounded the director on a film set in New Mexico, US law enforcement officers said Thursday.
The incident happened on the set of Rust in the south-western US state, where Baldwin is playing the lead in a 19th-century western. No charges have been filed over the incident, which is being investigated.
Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza "were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin," the sheriff in Santa Fe said in a statement, with Hutchins succumbing to her wounds.
