Police tape surrounds the set of the western movie "Rust" after two people were shot by actor Alec Baldwin after his prop firearm misfired on the set Thursday. One of them was killed.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's has identified the two people shot as cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza.
Hutchins was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital via helicopter where she died of her injuries.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
