Alec Baldwin, actor, was shocked and distraught after shooting his crew member on set of his new movie. He asked repeatedly why he was given a hot gun according to a new report.
Showbiz 411 reported that the 63-year old star wept as Santa Fe authorities interrogated him about the tragic accident on Rust's set. This was the western he was producing and starring. Baldwin accidentally shot a single shot from a prop gun that he didn't know was loaded, killing Halyna Hutchins, a cinematographer, and injuring Joel Souza.
Baldwin stated repeatedly that Baldwin said after the accident that he had never given him a hot gun in all his years.
In the aftermath of the incident, photos posted to social media showed Baldwin looking in pain on the set and then outside Santa Fe County's sheriff's station. Baldwin isn't expected to be affected by the incident. However, an investigation continues.
