-My god, with every new detail about the shooting on the Rust movie set, it gets more awful. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was hurt in rehearsals for a scene with a gun involving Alec Baldwin.

A source told the Times that there were two misfires on the prop gun on Saturday and one the previous week, and “there was a serious lack of safety meetings on this set.”

–Baldwin, who must be wrecked from this, tweeted a statement: “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. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family.
