“Two individuals were shot dead while filming a scene on the set of the western ‘Rust’,†the Santa Fe, New Mexico sheriff said in a statement.
“A gunshot victim, a 42-year-old woman … succumbed to her injuries.”
The sheriff’s office said the incident involved a gun that was used as a prop for the 19th century western.
“According to investigators, it appears the scene filmed involved the use of a propeller gun when it was unloaded.
“Detectives are investigating how and what type of projectile was fired.”
The deceased woman, 42, was airlifted to the University of New Mexico hospital.
The second person, a 42-year-old man, was taken by ambulance to another hospital where he was reportedly given emergency treatment.
“This incident remains an active investigation,” said the sheriff.
