The drama occurred at 1:50 p.m. New Mexico time at a famous filming location near Santa Fe, the Bonanza Creek Ranch. In this western setting, Alec Baldwin, main actor and producer of the film Rust, wields a revolver and shoots “facing the camera”. The balls should have been blank. But the one that comes out of the barrel is a real ammunition, which strikes the chief operator, Halyna Hutchins, before lodging in the collarbone of the director, Joel Souza.
