I’m so sad about losing Halyna. And so infuriated that this could happen on a set. She was a brilliant talent who was absolutely committed to art and to film. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/vcdFqHsGA0

This is how we lost Brandon Lee during the final days of filming for The Crow... It's a horrible loss and a shattering dose of guilt for whoever fired the weapon as well as those responsible for the maintenance of the prop. Such a terrible thing to happen.
