U.S. government lawyers announced Thursday that actor Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a cinematographer while filming a movie in New Mexico. Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies issued a statement announcing the charges against Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who supervised weapons on the movie set. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during rehearsals for the movie Rust on October 21, 2021. Baldwin was pointing a handgun at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the film director, Joel Souza. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza led the investigation into Hutchins’ death. He described “a degree of neglect” on the film set. But his report did not say how live ammunition got on the film set. Filmmakers usually use ammunition without bullets, called blanks, on movie sets. Baldwin was the co-producer of Rust. He is well known for his acting in the television show 30 Rock and for his work in the film The Hunt for Red October. Baldwin has described the killing as a “tragic accident.” He is taking legal action against people involved in handling and supplying the gun that was handed to him on the set. The actor said he was told the gun was safe.
