Her dying words after being shot and killed by actor Alec Baldwin, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was quoted as saying, “That was no good.”
Hutchins later died after a prop gun fired by Baldwin ended her life. Today, Baldwin spoke publicly for the first time about the shooting on the New Mexico set. He said he did not expect filming for the movie to resume.
“This is a one in a trillion episode,” Baldwin said about the shooting. “I’ve been ordered by the Sheriff’s department in Santa Fe not to answer any questions. It’s an active investigation.”
“She was my friend,” Baldwin said, adding that he took her to dinner the day she arrived on set. Baldwin and his Hilaria Thomas Baldwin got testy with reporters who failed to name Hutchins by name, instead referring to the cinematographer as “her”.
“Her name is Haylna,” Mrs. Baldwin shouted.
Now, we’re hearing there were two accidental discharges of prop guns on the set and questions regarding safety of firearms.
