Husband of Cinematographer Killed on 'Rust' Movie Set: 'The Idea That the Person Holding the Gun and Causing It to Discharge Is Not Responsible Is Absurd to Me'

Matthew Hutchins, husband of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins — who was killed during filming of the movie “Rust — expressed outrage over actor Alec Baldwin’s response to the shooting.

In a preview of an interview that will air Thursday morning on NBC’s “Today” show, Hutchins blamed the actor as well as a lack of adherence to industry safety standards on set for his wife’s death.

Hutchins, 42, was killed Oct. 21 when she was struck by a live bullet from a gun that Baldwin was drawing for a scene filming on a movie ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. The bullet passed through her and injured the director, Joel Souza.
