"It was complete chaos and devastation on set with everyone in pure panic mode," the eyewitness said. The insider continued: "Alec was a wreck and equally confused as he was upset. "He didn't know why he had been handed a hot gun that had real ammunition and kept asking, screaming really, questioning why he was given that in the first place. "The entire cast and crew again were just in panic mode, that's the best way I can describe it. "Everyone was shaking but doing all they could to help. Everyone is traumatized, I know I am. "It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. Blood was everywhere. "Cameras, lights and props were damaged also so broken glass was everywhere too....

The insider claimed: "The camera was facing Alec who was shooting in the cameras general direction during a rehearsal scene that was being recorded. ...The cameras captured Alec shooting but Halyna and Joel were behind the camera so I don't think the cameras captured them being shot." However, since the source claimed cameras were damaged from the gunfire, it is unclear if the footage would be salvable. Earlier today, Alec, 63, broke his silence on the devastating matter, saying in a statement: ...There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. ...I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. ...My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna." Alec was quizzed by cops following the accident and was snapped sobbing outside a local police station in Santa Fe, New Mexico, pictures from the scene showed.

On Thursday, the Emmy winner was filming a scene on the set of his new Western movie, Rust, that required him to fire a gun that was supposed to be loaded with blanks. However, the gun discharged either shrapnel or a bullet, which hit two people on set \- the director of photography, Halyna, and the movie's screenwriter and director, Joel. Halyna was airlifted to the hospital where she later died from her injuries while Joel was released from the hospital after receiving emergency care. The shooting at Bonanza Creek Ranch was just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico and the TV star was ...unaware... about the type of ammunition in the gun, according to Deadline. Due to yesterday's events, filming has been paused, with a rep saying: "Production has been halted for the time being on Rust. The safety of our cast and crew remains our top priority." Santa Fe cops said: ...According to investigators, it appears the scene being filmed involved the use of a prop firearm when it was discharged. ...Detectives are investigating how and what type of projectile was discharged. "The incident remains an active investigation. As more information becomes available, updates will be provided."
