VERMONT (1010 WINS) -- Alec Baldwin was spotted laying low in a small New England town alongside his wife and kids after the tragic shooting death on the set of his movie “Rust.”
TMZ obtained the pictures, showing Baldwin and his wife Hilaria grabbing takeout last weekend with their kids, with Alec sporting a full, gray beard. According to the New York Post, they're seen here in Manchester Center, Vermont.
Baldwin has expressed “shock and sadness” after a prop gun he fired killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza in New Mexico last Thursday.
Baldwin had been told that the gun was safe to use for the rehearsal of a scene in which he was supposed to pull out the weapon while sitting in a church pew and point it at the camera, records said.
Authorities have said that Halls had handed the weapon to Baldwin and announced “cold gun,” indicating it was safe.
Assistant director Dave Halls who handed Alec Baldwin the gun that killed a cinematographer last week had been fired from a previous job after a gun went off on a set and wounded a member of the film crew, a producer said Monday.

The movie's production team confirmed that work on the Western has been suspended at least until an investigation is complete. The team said it is working with law enforcement and conducting its own internal safety review.
The sheriff's investigation has continued and court documents showed that authorities seized three black revolvers, ammunition boxes, a fanny pack with ammunition, several spent casings, two leather gun belts with holsters, articles of clothing and swabs of what were believed to be blood.
Baldwin is an “active part of the investigation,” authorities in Santa Fe announced Wednesday as they said they’d recovered the “suspected live round” that killed a cinematographer and injured a director on the set.
“All options are on the table at this point,” Santa Fe DA Mary Carmack-Altwies said.
