A director who was injured when Alec Baldwin fatally shot a crew member with a prop gun says he is 'gutted' by her death

Matt Hutchins had earlier paid tribute on Twitter, writing:"Halyna inspired us all with her passion and vision, and her legacy is too meaningful to encapsulate in words. Our loss is enormous."

"My thoughts are also with Joel Souza as he recovers. I am absolutely heartbroken for everyone involved." "Asking for your prayers tonight friends not much can be said other than please pray for all involved in the wake of this tragic accident thank you," he wrote.The tributes come as reports suggest crew members were concerned about gun safety on the set before the fatal shooting.

They told the paper Baldwin's stunt double had been reassured the prop firearm wasn't loaded, including with blanks, before he fired the two rounds last Saturday.It comes as multiple reports suggest half a dozen camera crew workers had walked off set in protest against working conditions hours before Hutchins was shot dead on Thursday.

She’s gutted, I’ve never really used the phrase gutted when someone is killed, maybe if I’ve missed a delivery and only collect it at the weekend and it’s only Monday, because of work.

Your reporting of this has been absolutely disgraceful. I used to think of Sky news as a respected news source - you've proven yourselves to be absolute gutter press, akin to the Sun.

Is that the best he can do as 'gutted' is the word you use when your football team loses.

More hard hitting facts being reported… facts

Maybe he should direct a nice film with no guns. Maybe one about a lemur that loses his yo-yo, and the hippo and the anteater help him find it. Alec Baldwin can be the voice of the lemur. Just don't give him a real yo-yo, he might accidentally strangle someone with it.

Who put real bullets in that supposedly prop gun! Everyone's looking at Alec Baldwin like it was intentional! Typical media twisting everything!

My encounter with Geoffreypreud actually change my life and for that I'll keep upgrading people for his good job thanks once again Geoffrey

Was 100% Baldwins fault.
