The production company behind the embattled movie "Rust" is shutting down production until the investigation into the on-set shooting and death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is completed, Fox News can confirm.

On Thursday, actor Alec Baldwin accidentally shot two people, killing Hutchins, and injuring "Rust" director Joel Souza when he discharged a prop gun after being told it was "cold" or unloaded, per affidavits. .

"The safety of our cast and crew is the top priority of Rust Productions and everyone associated with the company.

We will continue to cooperate with the Santa Fe authorities in their investigation and offer mental health services to the cast and crew during this tragic time," the producers said in a statement obtained by Fox News. .

Actor Alec Baldwin said he is cooperating with police about the on-set shooting and death of ‘Rust’ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Reid Russell, a camera operator who was working on the film's set that day, noted to detectives in a newly released affidavit that Baldwin was very careful when it came to the use of prop firearms while filming prior to the incident. .

Unfortunately, Baldwin was reportedly told by assistant director Dave Halls that the gun he was working with when Hutchins was shot was a "cold gun," a term used when a firearm being worked with on a set is not loaded with any live ammunition.

When Baldwin pulled the trigger while working with Souza and Hutchins to set up a shot, it went off resulting in one of the worst on-set tragedies in recent memory. .

ALEC BALDWIN WAS VERY CAREFUL WITH PROP GUNS PRIOR TO 'RUST' ACCIDENT, ACCORDING TO CAMERA OPERATOR.

Souza said in the warrant that the cast and crew prepared the scene before lunch and then had their meal away from the shooting location around 12:30 p.m
