Actor Alec Baldwin said Friday it was a “tragic accident” when he fatally shot a colleague with a prop gun on a movie set in New Mexico. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in Thursday’s shooting and director Joel Souza was wounded, authorities said.
“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins,” Baldwin said on Twitter, calling Hutchins a “deeply admired colleague.”
“My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna,” Baldwin said.
Baldwin said he was “fully cooperating” with the police.
