A Tweet posted by Alec Baldwin about “wrongfully killing someone” resurfaces after the tragic Rust shooting.

A Tweet posted by Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin about “wrongfully killing someone” has resurfaced after he accidentally shot and killed the director of photography on set.

Baldwin accidentally shot and killed the director of photography Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured the director of the film on the set of Rust.

The shots were fired from a stunt gun.

In the wake of the distressing incident, a Tweet from 2017 has now resurfaced on the internet.

The 63-year-old’s haunting Tweet questioned “wrongfully killing someone,” which is particularly poignant following the tragic events at the Bonanza Creek Ranch film set.

The Tweet Baldwin wrote four years ago read: “I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone.”

At the time, Baldwin was addressing and criticising a police shooting in California.

The Santa Fe Sheriff’s department said in a statement: “Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Bonanza Creek Ranch movie set of the western Rust, October 21, 2021, when a 911 caller reported a shooting on the set.”

“The sheriff’s office confirms that two individuals were shot on the set of Rust.”

“Halyna Hutchins, 42, director of photography and Joel Souza, 48, director, were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin, 63, producer and actor.”

The statement continued: “Ms Hutchins was transported, via helicopter, to University of New Mexico Hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel.”

“Mr Souza was transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Centre where he is undergoing treatment for his injuries.”

“This investigation remains open and active. No charges have been filed in regard to this incident. Witnesses continue to be interviewed by detectives.”
