Prosecutors announced criminal charges will be filed against Alec Baldwin in connection to his role in the fatal shooting on the set of 'Rust.' Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will be charged with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter:
The announcement come as plans to finish the movie march forward in the wake of a settlement between Rust Movie Productions and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ family. Shooting resumed in January outside of New Mexico, where filming of the movie first took place before it was suspended, with Hutchins’ husband as an executive producer.
Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger, although an FBI forensics report found that the gun couldn’t have been fired without its trigger being pulled while it was cocked. It remains unclear how live rounds got onto the set.Gutierrez-Reed, who handled the gun prior to the shooting, was a central focus of the investigation.
Halls, who was responsible for on-set safety as the first assistant director, in December countersued Baldwin and other crewmembers, arguing that it was their “active and primary negligence” that caused the fatal shooting.
