A woman has died and a man has been injured after actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a New Mexico film set.
Police in the US state said Mr Baldwin discharged the weapon during filming for the 19th Century western Rust.
The woman was taken to hospital but died of her injuries. The man, the film’s director, was receiving emergency care.
A spokesperson for Mr Baldwin told AP news agency the incident involved the misfiring of a prop gun with blanks.
The woman has been named as Halyna Hutchins, 42, who was working as director of photography. The man being treated is Joel Souza, 48, the film’s director.
Police are still investigating the incident at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a popular filming location, and no charges have been filed.
The Santa Fe New Mexican, a local newspaper, reported that 68-year-old Mr Baldwin was seen outside the local sheriff’s office in tears on Thursday.
According to her personal website, Ms Hutchins was from Ukraine and grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle. She studied journalism in Kyiv, and film in Los Angeles, and was named a “rising star” by the American Cinematographer magazine in 2019.
She was the director of photography for the 2020 action film Archenemy, directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer.
“I’m so sad about losing Halyna. And so infuriated that this could happen on a set,” Mr Mortimer said in a tweet.
