And the city police said in a statement that “two people were shot while filming a scene on the set of the movie (Rust),” noting that “one of the two victims, a 42-year-old woman … died of her injuries.”
The statement explained that the tragedy was caused by a firearm that was supposed to be a hoax, noting that “investigators are trying to find out what kind of bullets were fired and how.”
The statement indicated that the woman was evacuated on a helicopter to a nearby hospital, but she soon passed away. The wounded man, also aged 42, is in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
“Rust” is a Western movie, written and directed by Joel Sousa, and starring Alec Baldwin, who is also co-producing the work, and plays the role of an outlaw named Harland Rust, who comes to the rescue of his 13-year-old grandson. He was sentenced to death by hanging for murder.
In recent years, Baldwin, 63, has risen to fame in the United States thanks to his elaborate impersonation of former President Donald Trump on the popular satirical show “Saturday Night Live.”
