    In a tragic turn of events, a prop gun fired by US Actor Alec Baldwin ended up killing the cinematographer on the film set of the project he was working on. 

    US law enforcement officers disclosed that the incident happened on the sets of Rust, which was being shot in New Mexico. 
    The Hollywood veteran was to be playing the lead role in the 19th-century based western. No charges have been filed yet as the case is still under investigation. 
    According to Reuters, Alec Baldwin had been handed the prop to shoot with, since production had cleared it to be a safe “cold gun”. However, the decoy ended up containing live rounds when it was fired. 
    The rounds hit cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in the chest, and director Joel Souza, who was behind her, in the shoulder. Hutchins succumbed to her injuries whereas Souza has been declared out of danger, and released from a local hospital.

    Reacting to the incident, Bollywood starlet Kangana Ranaut took to social media. On her Instagram stories, the Queen actress shared a post that said, “This is so horrible!! Note for all the people working in films, dealing with various stunts, weapons, and explosives… your mistakes can cause (cost) someone their life… tragic.”

    Kangana penned another note on her Instagram stories, discussing how she too had faced near-death experiences while on film sets. The actress said, “Today two people were shot on a film set one of them died immediately... like other leading actors, I too have had many accidents while filming stunts ... some of them were near-death experiences and mostly it was someone else's carelessness ... many stuntmen and occasionally actors die on film sets every year... This is so wrong ... in Indian films action protocols prep and execution is even more primitive ... Hope our film bodies look into it and prevent such mishaps…”

    Actor Alec Baldwin broke his silence and described the mishap as a “tragic accident” on Twitter, “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. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."
    As viewers, cinema has the ability to enrich our minds. But it shouldn’t be made at the expense of someone’s life. Accidents happen, and they’re unavoidable. But this incident sheds light on the ways negligence can lead to irreversible conditions.
    We hope that all stakeholders in film industries across the world take measures to ensure such tragic incidents aren’t repeated.
