According to a source, the 63-year-old actor is "canceling other projects" and planning "to take some time to himself and re-center himself" as a way to deal with the trauma stemming from the tragedy.

"This was pretty devastating," the insider claimed. "This is how he handles difficult times. Whenever something bad happens, in the short term, he removed himself from [the] public eye."

The informant continued describing the moment after the shooting happened, saying, "He was hysterical and absolutely inconsolable for hours. Everyone knows this was an accident, but he's absolutely devastated."

Hutchins's father, Anatoly Androsovych, who is living in Ukraine, insisted that Alec is not responsible for the death of his daughter. However, he pointed out the blame to the "props people" instead.

"We still can't believe Halyna is dead, and her mother is going out of her mind with grief," he told The Sun. "But I don't hold Alec responsible - it is the responsibility of the props people who handle the guns."
