The shot that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico film set last week was fired as actor Alec Baldwin was practicing drawing his gun, CNN reported director who was injured in the shooting said in an affidavit for a search warrant shows.

Joel Souza, director of the film “Rust,” was shot in the shoulder and director of photography Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed when the prop gun went off during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe Thursday.

Souza spoke to investigators Friday, according to the affidavit released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday.

The director told them Baldwin was “sitting in a pew in a church building setting, and he was practicing a cross draw,” the affidavit said. A cross draw is when a shooter pulls the weapon from a holster on the opposite side of the body from the draw hand.

Souza was looking over Hutchins’ shoulder “when he heard what sounded like a whip and then loud pop,” according to the affidavit.

Souza recalled Hutchins “complaining about her stomach and grabbing her midsection” after the shot was fired, the document said.

Now, Police have said that there have been no arrests made or charges filed in the case so far, but it remains an “open and active” investigation while production of ‘Rust’, an independent Western film for which Baldwin is a co-producer, has been halted indefinitely.
