foxnews.comThe husband of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer shot and killed on the set of "Rust," is recalling the moment he learned of her shooting.
In a sit-down interview that aired on Thursday, Matthew Hutchins revealed to "Today" co-anchor Hoda Kotb that a member of the production team informed him that his wife of 16 years had been shot. "My heart sank right away," Matthew said, adding that it was "completely inexplicable to me that it could have happened in that moment." "The first thing I thought was, ‘I have to be with my son,’" Hutchins continued.

He said he was "very direct and blunt" with his son about the news because "I didn't want him to think we were going to see her and be having fun together."

He said he had to inform his son of Halyna's death multiple times. "So he believed it and we cried together then," he said.
