Actor Alec Baldwin has reportedly now killed a crew member from a new film he was shooting and wounded its director during filming with a gun which was supposed to be a prop but which was apparently somehow loaded with real bullets.

The crew member Baldwin killed was the director a photography, Halyna Hutchins, who was 42 years old and reportedly died at the hospital.

As The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:

Actor Alec Baldwin discharged a “prop firearm” Thursday on a movie set south of Santa Fe, killing the director of photography for the film he was working on and wounding its director, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said.

Baldwin is one of the film’s stars as well as a producer. He went to the sheriff’s office willingly and provided a statement to investigators, sheriff’s office spokesman Juan Ríos said.

“We’re treating this as we would any other investigation,” Ríos said, adding deputies were still trying to determine whether what happened was an accident.

The prop was fired at Bonanza Creek Ranch, where filming was underway, the sheriff’s office said in an early evening news release. The set was locked down while deputies began their investigation.

So far charges have not been filed against Baldwin. The investigation is still ongoing and all filming for the movie, entitled ‘Rust’ has been shut down for the time being

Baldwin has become well known in recent years for his scornful portrayal of former President Trump on ‘Saturday Night Live.’

  1. He is an arrogant a hole who cares about no one but himself. Carelessness is no excuse. He murdered that women. He is not above the law.

    1. And one who’s always demanding gun control , just shows this clown has no clue about guns and their proper use or how too safely handle any firearm ..

      1. Why did Baldwin not check the chamber himself If he was to handle a gun. Anyone that is handling a gun must goes thru gun safety My sons went thru that at age 12 yrs old. & their father always pounded into them about gun safety when they go hunting along with a gun safety course with him each year before hunting. My sons are now senior citizens. Now we talk to our grandchildren the same way

  2. You do not point a gun with blanks in there is a explosive discharge comes out the barrel it is a no Brainerd. Someone need to be accountable for this death no excuses

    1. I recall a few years back, a popular actor on a show I never watched (hence the lack of names in my missive) put a prop .45 up to his head and pulled the trigger, knowing there was a blank in the chamber. He thought it would be a lark.

      What he failed to understand was that the blank charge drove a .45 sized chunk of skull into his brain. Dead at the scene.

      1. The actor in question was Brandon Lee, son of legendary martial artist and film star, Bruce Lee. It was not a TV show. Rather, they were filming the sequel to “The Crow”, a surprise hit movie. Otherwise, your description of events is correct. It requires a fairly powerful charge to cycle a semi-automatic pistol, meaning that, even with blanks, there’s a lot of force exiting the gun’s barrel, quite enough, at close range, to punch a hole through one’s skull, turning that piece of bone into the bullet.

        1. Thanks, od, Suuuuure sounds to me like they should be using FAKE guns! Hell’s Bells, they can Reproduce ANYTHING nowadays and have it look EXACTLY like the Real thing.
          THIS should not even be POSSIBLE! Something’s REAL Fishy

        2. Actually it was Jon eric hexum who shot himself in the head with a blank round while goofing off during filming. Brandon Lee was killed while filming a scene that the character was supposed to be shot multiple times, the blood packets hid the actual bullet wound and no one new he had been shot until the scene was finished.

      2. I remember that incident like it was yesterday . Blanks contain gunpowder ,and just as deadly a one with real bullets . It’s the concussion that kills .

      3. Well, if the actor died as a result of brain damage, wouldn’t that mean that he was not a Liberal twit…er, I mean, Democrat?

    2. Except a point blank range you don’t kill someone with a blank load. Someone possibly deliberately sabotaged the gun. A second person wounded is very odd but possible if you’re an idiot like Baldwin.

  3. One question – HOW FLIPPING STUPID CAN ANYONE BE TO PLAY WITH A REAL GUN?

    I am just a dumb person…. but, I think there should be special rounds that fit in specially made clips that are blanks, if that is what they need…. NEVER PLAY WITH A LOADED GUN.

  4. Burn him. He’s got a temper…We have seen it for real on the street. Burn him if found guilty if charged for murder.

  5. I don’t believe Baldwin. I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He is constantly in trouble and needs to either be in a mental hospital or do some real jail time. He needs to be dealt with.

    1. I highly DOUBT if he was out to commit murder ON a movie set, but I’m ALL FOR him being in a mental institution. He’s One Sick bad hombre

  6. Waiting for him to blame Trump! ,Attorney General Merrick Garland, another biden appointee,who is just a figure head, who knows nothing about nothing,Can’t investigate Hunter bidens gun applications,or his conflict with art sales,or any thing else concerning Hunter or the biden crime family. Are you in charge of the Department of Justice?, yes i am, Well how illegal’s aliens have you prosecuted or charged for violation of federal immigration laws? none ,Why is the crime rate and murder rate so high with the democrat controlled cities? don’t know, why are drugs being smuggled into our Country at a all time high? don’t know .Why did the Attorney Generals office fire all Trump hires? don’t know. Why did they even bring this guy in before Congress?? Oh yea, moms and dads, because they don’t like the way your son and daughter in law have a conflict of interest with your position? don’t know. How about because the school boards heads and the teacher s unions complained to the White House they did no like to answer any questions at the Schools with parents meetings? about what ii being taught to their children,? don’t know. Do you think the teachers union should be exempt from receiving the virus shots? don’t know. Are you going to call in the FBI on every issue that comes up and you don’t want to stick your neck out? don’t know.

  7. The main question which should be asked is, *”Who had access to and loaded that ‘prop gun’ with live ammo?”*

    1. EXACTLY! Reeeeal SIMPLE, like MOST things. There should NEVER be ANY Real bullets involved with this kind of a situation, it’s TOTAL ABSURDITY!
      SOMETHING’s NOT RIGHT HERE. THAT much we DO know.

  8. He is now and has always been a radial loose Cannon. His hate has come back to get him. Praying for those victims.

  9. I would definitely invesatigate the prop master for being a Republican Trump supporter.and switching the prop for a real pistol to frame Alec.

    1. Being ignorant of a gun and what that thing is that looks like a trigger, is no excuse for murder. The gun did not go off accidently. I have a BB Gun, and I don’t point it at anything unless I am going to shoot at it. Well, Baldwin is a hot head, and he pointed the gun and HE PULLED THE TRIGGER? What’s good here is, felons can’t vote, and this means President Trump will win in 2024, and will win back all of Congress in 2022, that is, if you don’t cheat again. You know there are never enough Democrat voters to win, but when the Democrats like Biden cheat they win? Experts said Trump received over 100 million votes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2. Yes, YOU Would.
      HOPEFULLY they investigate EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING and are ABLE to come up with the TRUTH!

  10. Prayers for Ms. Hutchins, and Condolences to her family,…. As For Baldwin, May he see her face Nightly, Right after he goes to sleep,…. Prop Firearms are Supposed to be De-Mil ‘d, Firing only Blanks and Incapable of Chambering a “Real Round”, and even at that they carry a “Plug” of some sort, usually wax, or tissue paper to Build-Up pressure, and cause complete powder burn, for flash, smoke and sound,…. But the muzzle is usually Restricted to prevent that from leaving….. Somebody Goofed or the Restrictor got loose, Either way,….

    1. you need to do a little research on guns firing blanks. There is no restrictor, if the barrel is restricted the gun would blowup from the powder exploding if there is no way for the pressure to escape. Plus, there is wadding in the cartridge to prevent the powder from falling out. When a blank cartridge is fired this wadding exits the barrel with enough force to injure or kill anyone nearby.

      1. Sorry, but You sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about. If a “blank” shoots “wadding” that could “injure or kill anyone nearby”, WHAT THE HELL’S THE POINT IN HAVING “BLANKS”, for cryin’ out loud?!!!!!!!

    2. Baldwin should have the responsibility to check the gun he is holding? Ignorance of the law and gun will not keep you from a Felony. He has been a hothead at all times. Look at who he had married and had twins………………. it was Prince’s piece of ass that he had married.

      1. Well, they’re ALL pretty much the Scum of the Earth, so NOTHING surprises us. It’s just ALL a damned Shame.

      2. Prince’s “piece of ass”, huh? My, THAT’s Endearing. Maybe Prince was her Bank Account and Stiff Dick.

    1. He’s probably NOT guilty, hopefully they’ll FIND OUT FOR SURE just WHAT the deal is.
      If he IS, he’ll CERTAINLY get the “Lenient Left” BULLSHIT that is destroying our society.

  11. Being Ignorant is not a protection after shooting another human. He shot two people with the gun IN HIS HAND? It was not a mistake that the trigger was pulled and that very gun killed one person? Baldwin is a hot head to many. Indict him for murder. I believe 4 years is fine for the same thing as traffic manslaughter . I would like to have heard what Sean Hannity said, when he heard is own enemy, Alex Baldwin, is now a killer ?

    1. Openly MURDERING someone and you’d give them 4 Years?! WTH ARE YOU?! You in the running for “Liberal of the Year”?!
      Ya’ get LOCKED UP and have the key thrown away!!!

    1. Yeah, SUMPIN ain’t addin’ up HERE, that’s for Sure. HOPEFULLY they’ll be able to uncover the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. SO Bad.

  12. well since he is an anti-trumper the democrit commies will figure out some way to save his ass. who points a blank gun at two people and pulls the trigger?

        1. True. And NO, we don’t GET the Truth anymore in this f’ed up society.
          WHAT a basic ShitShow we’ve become.
          Our forefathers wouldn’t believe this SHIT

  13. Makes the other actors that were part of the movie filming nervous that he didn’t discharge the weapon at them during a scene.

  14. I bet this arrogant buffoon isn’t shooting his mouth off now ! I bet he is scared shitless ….. Why and how was a stunt gun loaded with real bullets ? Someone needs to be held accountable…. Are they going to scream “ Gun control “ and try to gun grab ! Is this another dog and pony show ?

    1. Yup, Looooootsa QUESTIONS with This one.
      It doesn’t make any sense…. shouldn’t even be POSSIBLE. HOPEFULLY they’ll find a logical TRUTH to the whole mess. We all KNOW the guy’s a world class prick Asshole, but I seriously doubt that he was out to Murder someone…. and on a movie set? Doesn’t make any sense.

    2. VERY Possible that the WHOLE deal is a GUN GRAB ploy. The Left is capable of ANYTHING! They re the Lowest form of Life on the planet and they PROVE it Constantly and Continuously.
      ALL Anyone would EVER have to SEE/HEAR as ABSOLUTE PROOF is Adam “Shithead” Schiff or Fat Ass Gerald “Jerk Off” Nadler. WHAT a couple of DISGUSTING Loser maggots on cancerous cysts THOSE two ARE.

  15. Liberals are just too dense to grasp the rule that you NEVER pick up or get handed ANY firearm without immediately doing a safety check on it to see its loaded/ unloaded condition.

  16. at a minimum 2nd degree manslaughter……what the heck was he doing pointing a gun, any gun even a prop gun at the director and a photographer?

    1. Yes, during actual filming shooting at actors for the movie would be One thing___ photographers or directors or Whatever? NOT adding up, I’d say.

  17. Something not right here. Why would he do such a thing in full view if he intended to murder someone? He has a young family and a good life. There is more to this case than can be seen at the moment. Someone made a mistake or intentionally meant to harm individuals that were shot.

    1. Yup, 2 and 2 keep Comin’ up to 3 Here.
      SURE HOPE they can get to bottom o’ this with ACCURACY so we’ll KNOW just what the deal is.

    2. It’s either a tragic prop accident or a setup by someone on Baldwin. No one knew who he would point the gun at.

  18. He is known to have a bad temper, so an investigation is proper. It may not necessarily have been an accident. If he is lucky enough to be investigated by patriots, he is toast.

  19. BALDWN IS A COMPLETE JERK , ALWAYS HAS BEEN A MORON ….I PRAY FOR MS HUTCHINS AND HER FAMILY AND INJURED CREW MEMBER. BALDWIN WILL FACE STRESS , PRESSURE , MEGA DESTRUCTION TO HIS LIFE AND CAREER . ATTORNEYS WILL BEAT HIM TO A PULP AND CLEAN HIS CLOCK FINANCIALLY . I DOUBT ANYONE BESIDES THE ” ELITE ” WILL FEEL BADLY FOR THIS AROGANT PUNK . MAYBE HE CAN PLAY HIMSELF ON SNL…AS A BANKRUPT FORMER MOVIE STAR. BY THE WAY….THIS WAS HIS OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY , CANT BLAME THE STUDIO….

    1. He IS Pure SCUM, NO Doubt about THAT, but this just AIN’T addin’ up. I SURE hope they can find out EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. VERY Strange.

        1. So YOU’RE Obviously a Complete IDIOT, too, eh, Chuck?! TOO BAD ABOUT YOUR MIND! YOU are precisely what’s WRONG with the country, you’re fukking STUPID! You don’t know SHIT about WHAT happened but you’re ready to convict somebody! What an ASS you ARE! You’re PROBABLY Sicker than Alec Baldwin.

  20. Everything this spoiled fool does is a disaster. From fighting photographers & cursing his child to his imitation of Trump on SNL. He should be charged with negligent homicide in my opinion.

      1. YES, the guy’s a hotheaded, arrogant piece of shit human being, but he hasn’t proven to be a Murderer just yet. If he is___ WASTE HIM!!!

  21. Baldin is guilty of morder. This A..hole has a temper which now cough up with him. He should go to jail for man slaughter.

    1. WTH made YOU Judge, Jury and Hangman,, Dipshit…. without KNOWING Shit about WHAT happened?! You like to play God, too?
      You’re obviously an Idiot, MUST be a Democrat too.

  22. Baldwin has NEVER been considered very intelligent by his peers. Somewhat of a brash, arrogant fool. Got lucky when he was chosen to play in Knott’s Landing which propelled his career, however he has never been overwhelmingly adored by the public at large.

    The guy is stupid. Who in their right mind would ever pick up a gun, even a prop gun, aim it at someone and pull the trigger? This would appear to be 2nd degree manslaughter. The projectile may not have been a bullet, but rather part of the material surrounding the charge. In many states carries a penalty of anywhere from 10 to 15 years to life, and/or a financial penalty. He will probably, due to his ‘famous’ persona, and the fact that he is a committed leftist, never do jail time, only a fine. But, who knows? We shall see.

    1. “Somewhat of a brash, arrogant fool”???
      You’re KIDDING, right?! HE’S A PICTURE OF BRASH ABD ARROGANT! He’s about as Offensive as a person can BE! The guy oooozes EVIL.
      Hopefully this WAS some kind of a Terrible accident. Let’s just Hope that can find the absolute TRUTH of the matter.

  23. In Hollywood, there are gun rental companies that rent bothe real guns and blank-firing only gun to the movie studios. They also have highly trained professional handlers to deal with those guns on movie / tv stages / sets. Those people do NOT make the mistake of putting live ammo in blank-firing guns The liability would destroy that company.
    Think carefully about that, then form your own opinion.

  24. Blanks have killed on movie sets previously. There is no evidence as yet that the prop gun was loaded with real bullets. Many if not all prop guns have a barrel blocker that would supposedly stop a live round from traveling through. Perhaps this is what caused the death and injury?

  25. Hang his libtard behind, he likely reloaded the firearm himself with live rounds. Anything to advance the libtard disarming of American Citizens.

  26. This crap should NEVER happen and anyone and everyone responsible for having a loaded firearm on set and no one responsible for owning it, having it there, and not having it checked for being armed, and having real munition in it, including Idiot self proclaimed macho man Baldwin should ever walk away from this horrible incident, that’s “Incident” NOT “Accident”, unscathed, all of them should be charged with negligent Homicide. You NEVER point and pull the trigger of ANY firearm especially one not yours and one you have not fully checked for being loaded/unloaded several times by several people. It is totally unacceptable and furthermore UNFORGIVABLE. Of course the great and powerful king of narcissism will no doubt walk away blaming some other lowly stage hand for something he should be held accountable for. True stupidity only in a Hollywood movie. I would only expect this from someone who complains about being forced to put away his video games so the passengers on the same plane are able toresume the flight. How Dare the flight attendants trouble such a huge (not) and talented (not) star (again not) to stop playing games. Perhaps they may have even caused a hair to be out of place. How unthinkable.😥😭😥🐮

    1. 👍 Right you ARE! ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE!
      Negligent Homicide at the very LEAST. And THAT’S IF the deranged Alec Baldwin AND Everybody Else check out with iron clad OK’s.

  27. How can you shoot TWO people, off-set, not during a scene, not another actor? There are so many holes in this story.
    Reminds me of too many murder mystery films I have seen. However, how would the ‘prop manager’ know that Baldwin would shoot at directors, not actors?
    This is a tragedy for the victims, and an absurd set of questions for the police.

    1. BINGO! 👍 “A Case Shrouded in Mystery Demanding the Crime Solving Prowess of Fenton Hardy and his Proven Capable Sons Frank and Joe”

  28. Charge him! You’re suppose to treat any gun as if it is loaded. Why would he be pointing it at people who aren’t even in the movie unless he meant to shot them. Further, would he should 2 people? He had to have known the gun was loaded. One doesn’t feel a recoil on on unloaded gun.

    1. STOP!! We don’t know ANYTHING about it, ya’ Dumbasses! Jiminy, you just wanna fukken HANG his ass, ya’ sick bastards!

  29. Wouldn’t he have realized, after the first bullet he squeezed off, that it was a fully functional weapon? Shot two with one bullet? Or pulled the trigger a second time?

  30. A prop gun is not necessarily a fake gun, but a real one used either unloaded or containing blank cartridges. A blank can be as dangerous as a live round when discharged close enough. I know of two incidents were people were injured by blank cartridges. The first was during a local high school play when a track starter pistol was used as a prop and fired at the villain from a few feet away. There was a paper wad in the barrel that shot through the villain’s coat and shirt, penetrating the actor’s skin. The second incident was a careless accident when a guardsman in the unit I belonged to was standing with the muzzle of his Garand resting on the top of his foot. We had been training, using blanks and he still had one in the rifle’s chamber and had failed to unload or engage the safety when we took a break. Somehow, either he pulled the trigger or it got caught on something on his pistol belt, but anyway, he blew a hole completely through his foot.

  31. Lock that pos liber up. Only an idiot points a gun at someone and dosen’t know if it’s loaded or not.

    1. Well, he’s GOT the Idiot part of it covered, That’s for sure. I find myself hoping he DID go Nuts and did it intentionally so that we can LOCK HIS SICK ASS UP AND GET THE POS OUT OF SOCIETY.

  32. Who cares, just another Hollywood moron Marxist. Our hearts and prayers for the innocent family who lost they loved one.

  33. Seems like a violation of the most basic gun safety rules. Even if a prop gun was somehow accidentally (violating safety rules on a movie set) loaded with projectiles, it can only hit people Baldwin was pointing it at (violating anotherbadic safety rule). I’ll wait for the investigation results, but they will probably only discuss whether or not Baldwin can be charged with a crime given the evidence they develop. The investigation likely won’t look at why he was pointing a gun at people on the set.

  34. All the dirt bags of Hollywood are dead set against the 2nd Amendment, but here they are again using guns in their awful pos movies, needless too say Baldwin is not a good human being, his actions and statements of his past confirm that.

    1. CORRECT, ‘cuz they’re Sick fuks that WOULD be dangerous with them Emotionally, AND because they’re Stupid and WOULD be dangerous with them Operationally.

      So it’s a DOUBLE DANGER!
      Sorry, Liberal assholes, NO GUNS FOR YOU!

  35. Number one rule: All firearms are always loaded!Blanks pack a hell of a wallop too. We used to shoot tin can lids stuck into sides of trees with blanks from a .308 rifle at about 20 feet, and it used to deform them easily. Never point a weapon at anything you don’t want to shoot. There are ways to make a semi automatic action cycle, that don’t allow much of a discharge for movie purposes.

  36. AND the winner of the “BEST COMMENT AWARD” goes to Mary Geiger, for “How do you shoot two people accidentally?” Good question – now, blanks can kill, by ejecting the paper or plastic wad, which, at short range, is like a bullet, or by literally blasting a hole with the muzzle blast, but, in both cases, you have to be extremely close to the victim and it’s hard to imagine someone not noticing that “hey, that first person actually seems hurt…” Discharging it a second time “accidentally”, in such a case, seems rather unlikely and would be the height of recklessness (drunk on the set? Who knows…). Then again, who would leave an actually loaded gun on a set full of actors, most of whom have had little enough exposure to real weaponry (Keanu Reeves excepted – John Wick really lives)? Let’s just say that the stink of cover-up is already beginning to attach to this one.

  37. This was NO ACCIDENT…According to BRAIN DEAD BALDWIN accidents should never happen…He was handed a weapon and the first rule of thumb is to “CHECK THAT WEAPON” Alex thought he didn’t have to now wants to claim it was an accident….Idiot should be tried for murder…he shot and killed someone…

  38. They need to figure out who put the real bullets in the firearm and who ever it was be charged with homicide. That starts with tracing the gun, where it was took out of the storage to where the gun was fired. Everyone that handled it and the box and who took the bullets came out of the box. Where they blanks that went into the gun and were they changed after loading. That is the only way to find out who did it.

  39. Alec Baldwin has nothing to worry about. As we all have seen time and time again, liberals do not have to have accountability for their crimes. He well be let completely off the hook very soon. On the other hand, if it were a conservative that did what Baldwin did, then that conservative would not only have the book thrown at him, but the whole kitchen sink!

  40. I feel terrible for the family who lost a family member. to me, it begs the question, is hollywood now using real ammunition to effect the real look of a body that has been shot? seems these fools need an education in gun safety. the democrat has to realize it is the person not the gun that kills.

  41. We can’t wait foe the SNL skit starring Donald Trump as an Alex Baldwin impersonator and made-up look alike, and about the surrounding cast members (15 or so in number) getting shot by Baldwin. A can’t miss skit.

  42. would you call this karma i would he and his big mouth of the past along with his anger management problems……….yes karma at its best…there is never a road without a bend.

  43. First rule of gun safety – Treat EVERY gun as if it were loaded. Second rule – Don’t point a gun at anything/ANYONE you aren’t willing to shoot.

  44. Lock up the hateful so of a bitch ! My heart goes out to the one he killed znd her family its amazing how carma bit this hateful ass ! He murdered someone he should pay the price ! Jail for life
    One less grateful person on the streets .

  45. Baldwin has also been a vocal opponent of the NRA and gun owners in general. The irony is had Baldwin taken any of the NRA gun safety classes he would have known what he was doing was unsafe but then again, he is smarter than any gun owner so it has to be the gun owners’ faults, the NRA and President Trump.

  46. They still have not said what the WEAPON was, a pistol a rifle a shotgun? They keep saying a PROP GUN or Prop Weapon as if it was a Nerf Gun, it was a Weapon. Now a shotgun at close range could very easily kill or seriously injure one, two or even five or six. Did Baldwin fire more than one shot, why was he pointing the Weapon at the people that were killed and injured? Smart Ass Baldwin Tweeted in 2017 in response to a police officer fatally shooting a suspect outside of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Huntington Beach, California.”I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone…” The Police Office shot and killed this person in the line of duty and it is up to the Justice System to determine his guilt or innocence. Baldwin KILLED and Injured these people while Playing at being a cowboy. So Mr. Baldwin how does it feel to have WRONGFULLY KILLED Someone???
