A week before a tragic on-set shooting accident involving Alec Baldwin would claim the life of one crew member and injure another, his co-star Jensen Ackles discussed his weapons training for the film, Rust, while at a fan convention. The 43-year-old was at a Denver event for Supernatural, his former long-running CW show, when he told the crowd about a big 'shootout' he had the next morning for his upcoming film. A day prior, Rust star Alec Baldwin accidentally killed Halyna Hutchins, a 42-year-old married mother-of-two and the Director of Photography on his new movie on a ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and injured the director in a gun mishap. Tragic irony: A week before a tragic on-set shooting accident involving Alec Baldwin would claim the life of one crew member and injure another, his co-star Jensen Ackles discussed his weapons training for the film, Rust, while at a fan convention Ackles, who frequently used a gun playing Dean Winchester for 15 seasons on Supernatural, regaled a crowd of fans with an anecdote about his brief gun training for Rust a week before Baldwin's tragic gun accident. 'I've got a 6 AM call tomorrow to have a big shootout,' Ackles was heard saying in a video captured by a fan. 'They had me pick my gun, they were like, "Alright, what gun would you like?" and I was like, "I don't know?" and the armorer was like, "Do you have gun experience?"' 'I was like, "A little." And she's like, "Okay, well, this is how you load it, this is how we check it and make sure it's safe."' The crowd, as well as Jensen's Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki, burst out laughing since the actor had so much on-camera experience shooting. He continued with the story, telling the group that the armorer told him to fire off some blank rounds over in a field. 'So she's like, 'I'll just put some blanks in there and just fire a couple of rounds towards the hill.'
