More than a full year after the now-infamous shooting, Alec Baldwin will finally face charges. New Mexico prosecutors investigating the shooting on the set of the film Rust are charging Baldwin, who was both a lead actor and producer on the Western, with involuntary manslaughter for killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Prosecutors also plan to charge the film’s armorer, Hannah-Gutierrez Reed, with involuntary manslaughter. The film’s first assistant director, David Halls, will plead guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon.
