The incident happened as actor Alec Baldwin was filming on the site for his forthcoming movie, "Rust."

Aside from Alec Baldwin, the western film was known to cast Jensen Ackles, Brady Noon, Frances Fisher, and Travis Fimmel.

"Rust" will revolve around the story of the Western outlaw, Harland Rust - played by Baldwin - who had a bounty on his head. "Rust" set off on a journey to break his grandson out of prison who was convicted of accidental murder, while they outrun the authorities.

Joel Souza is set to write and direct the film, while Baldwin was known to be a co-producer of the movie, through his El Dorado Pictures banner.

It was still unclear when "Rust" will hit off in the theaters.
