Oct. 22 2021, Published 12:39 p.m. ET
The husband of the crew member killed by Alec Baldwin has been in contact with the actor as police continue to investigate.
The husband of 41-year-old Halyna Hutchins, who was accidently shot during the filming of the western Rust, revealed the actor had reached out to him.
“I've spoken with Alec Baldwin and he is being very supportive,” Matthew Hutchins told Daily Mail. Halyna leaves behind an 8-year-old son.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, on Thursday, Baldwin was filming the movie on a set in Sante Fe, New Mexico. He was working on a scene that required his character to use a gun.
Baldwin pulled the trigger which caused a bullet to fire. It fatally struck Hutchins along with injuring 48-year-old director Joel Souza. The production company claims only blanks were meant to be in the gun.
Souza was rushed to the hospital and is still being treated by doctors. He is expected to recover.
Hutchins was airlifted to New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque but doctors weren't able to save her.
The matter is currently being investigated by police. Baldwin was interviewed by authorities while still on set. No criminal charges have been filed yet but it's likely someone will be blamed. Actors are not in charge of prop guns on set.

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,” he ended.
