In recent days, the American public has been preoccupied with a shooting incident involving famous actor Alec Baldwin. While the investigation into the incident continues without answers to several questions regarding how the fatal mistake occurred, filmmaker Joel Souza spoke out yesterday, Saturday. Souza, who was injured in the shoulder when Baldwin discharged a revolver that contained live ammunition on Thursday, stated that he is "very sad" about the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of "Rust," according to Reuters. "She was vibrant."
He added in a statement: "I am very sad for the loss of my friend and colleague Halyna. She was kind, vibrant, and incredibly talented." However, he did not comment on the details of the incident or his injury. It is noted that the bullet struck Hutchins in the chest, while Souza, who was behind her, was hit in the shoulder, according to the county sheriff’s office leader of Santa Fe. A judge in Santa Fe issued an order on Friday for the county sheriff's office to retain the firearms, clothing, cameras, video tapes, and ammunition from the Bonanza Creek Ranch outside Santa Fe, where Baldwin was filming the American Western "Rust."
