Deadline has confirmed that a female crew member died Thursday following an apparent accident involving a prop gun on the set of the Western film, Rust, starring Alec Baldwin. Another was hospitalized and remains in emergency care.
“There was an accident today on the New Mexico set of Rust involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks,” a production spokesperson said. “Two crew members have been taken to the hospital and are receiving care. Production has been halted for the time being. The safety of our cast and crew remains our top priority.”
TMZ reports the two injured crew members were struck with either shrapnel or a bullet when the prop gun was fired. According to ABC News, deputies responded to a 911 call around 2 p.m. “indicating an individual had been shot on set.” The University of New Mexico Hospital would only confirm that a patient was admitted earlier today “in critical condition.”
Production at Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico has been halted for the time being. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating “how and what type of projectile was discharged.”
Baldwin shared a photo of himself on the set of Rust on Instagram earlier today.
Baldwin is co-producing Rust, which was written and being directed by Joel Souza.
