Alec Baldwin is being charged with involuntary manslaughter after one person was shot on the set of Rust, Knewz reported.
“Rust actor and producer Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will each be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the film’s Santa Fe County set in 2021," the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office wrote on Facebook on Thursday, January 19.

As OK! previously reported, the actor, 64, fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while on the New Mexico set. Baldwin was allegedly handed a loaded weapon, even though he was told it was a "cold" gun.
Hutchins' family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in February 2022, but they reached a settlement in October. As part of the agreement, Hutchins' husband, Matthew, will serve as an executive producer on the film when it is back in production.
