Members of the filmmaking community are expressing their grief after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died following a prop firearm discharge on the set of Rust.

According to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, Halyna and director Joel Souza were shot when cast member Alec Baldwin “discharged” a prop gun on the film’s New Mexico set. Halyna, 42, was pronounced dead after being airlifted to a nearby hospital, while Joel was taken in an ambulance to a hospital to be treated for his injuries.

In a statement obtained by E!
