    On the other hand, Souza, the injured director will recover. He is at the moment being treated at Christus St. Santa Fe’s Vincent Regional Medical Center. Although police confirm that there are no charges against Baldwin at this time, the investigation remains active.

    Where Did It Happen?

    The unexpected occurred when the actor was filming a scene at Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It required someone to fire a gun. Yet the gunshot either was shrapnel or a bullet that shot the two directors. Deputies are still working to determine how the incident happened during the discharge of the ‘prop firearm.’

    “We’re treating this as we would any other investigation, “said sheriff’s office spokesman Juan Rios. “Deputies were still investigating whether it was an accident.”

    What’s Next

    After the shootings, everything paused on the movie for the time being. Keeping their crew safe was a top priority according to a statement.

    “This is still an active investigation, and we do not yet have all the facts,” said President and Director Fran Drescher. “We will collaborate with production, other unions, and authorities to investigate this incident and find ways to prevent its recurrence.”

    One could only tell what the future holds for Alec Baldwin. And some may this tragedy may alter his acting career in the end.
