Alec Baldwin is getting through this dark and difficult time by leaning on his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and their kids.
On Oct. 21, the 63-year-old actor discharged a gun – he was told was "cold" or unloaded, indicating the weapon was safe – in the Bonanza Creek Ranch set of his movie "Rust" and accidentally killed the film's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. He also injured director Joel Souza, who is recovering.
The police in New Mexico are currently investigating the incident and no arrests or charges have yet been made.
"It's such an unthinkable tragedy and the grief and trauma for him are unbearable," a source told People magazine. "Alec is still in shock and his heart is completely broken. He is doing his best to cope and is leaning on Hilaria and the kids for support."

"There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours," he said Friday morning on Twitter.
"I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna," the actor concluded.
