Alec Baldwin has deleted a photo showing himself all bloody on the set of Rust, hours after he shot and killed a crew member with a prop gun in a horrifying accident.
The 63-year-old posted a picture of himself in costume on his Instagram. Baldwin was seen in his western gear, looking disoriented, with fake blood running out of his chest as if he had just been shot.
Posing in front of his trailer, the actor held his jacket in one hand and his cowboy hat in the other. The photo is now nowhere to be found on his timeline, indicating Baldwin deleted it after Wednesday's fatal mishap.
Last night, it was reported that the movie's director of photography Halyna Hutchins, 44, lost her life after Baldwin's prop gun went off and struck her. She was transported by helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The gun reportedly discharged either shrapnel or a bullet, hitting Hutchins and the film's director Joel Souza, 48. He was taken by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and remains in critical condition, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
