Alec Baldwin’s family was spotted packing up to head to the Hamptons on Friday following the deadly shooting on his movie set.
Baldwin’s assistants were seen packing luggage into cars a day after the actor fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, on the set of his upcoming movie “Rust.” Production on the set of “Rust” has been halted indefinitely after the prop gun was misfired at Bonanza Creek Ranch.
The film’s director, Joel Souza, 48, was also injured during the incident and has been hospitalized.
Baldwin broke his silence on the shooting Friday morning in a statement made to social media. The actor expressed his sadness over what he called a “tragic accident.”
“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours,” he said Friday morning on Twitter.
