Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' husband, Mike Hutchins, praised his late wife in his first statement since her death on the set of the movie Rust, saying her "legacy is too meaningful to encapsulate in words."
Halyna Hutchins, 42, was accidentally shot on Thursday when actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on the set. Hutchins, the film's director of photography, was airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Rust director Joel Souza was also injured in the shooting, and on Friday was released from the hospital.
