‘Rust’ crewmember dies after prop gun misfires on set of Alec Baldwin film

An accident on the set of Alec Baldwin’s movie, "Rust," at the Bonanza Creek Ranch on the outskirts of Sante Fe, New Mexico sent two members of the film crew to the hospital – one of whom – a woman, has died, according to a press release from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department.

"The safety of our cast and crew remains our top priority," the memorandum reads, according to the outlet.

A spokesperson for the department relayed to Deadline that criminal investigators were called to the scene on the Bonanza Creek Ranch Thursday afternoon – however it remains unclear if sending criminal investigators to the site is simple protocol.
