Alec Baldwin involved in accidental fatal shooting on film set

Actor Alec Baldwin tweeted Friday his “heart is broken” after a woman was killed in an accidental shooting on a film set in New Mexico.

Officials say the prop gun Baldwin fired contained a live round that struck and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

The director of the movie, Joel Souza, also was hit and was taken to hospital for treatment. He later was released.

“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours,” Baldwin tweet Friday morning.
