A district attorney for New Mexico announced that charges have been filed related to Halyna Hutchins’ death. Both Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department conducted a detailed investigation that included how a live round made it into a dummy round box. The district attorney has asked for emergency funding to prosecute this case.<\/p>\n

Halyna died when a gun Alec Baldwin was holding fired, while practicing a scene on Oct. 21, 2021. The group had been rehearsing in a small church on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set.<\/p>\n

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department has spent the last year investigating how live rounds made it onto the movie set. Armorer Hannah Guiterrez-Reed and assistant director Dave Halls were the only other crew members believed to have handled the gun that fired on set.<\/p>\n

“Never in a million years did Hannah think that live rounds could have been in the \u2018dummy\u2019 round box,” one of Guiterrez-Reed’s attorneys, Jason Bowles, said in a statement shared with Fox News shortly after the fatal accident. “Who put those in there and why is the central question.”<\/p>\n

Halls allegedly handed Baldwin a .45 revolver, telling him that it was “cold,” or safe. Prior to that, Gutierrez-Reed spun the cylinder to show Halls what was in the gun, her lawyer said.<\/p>\n

Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the gun \u2013 once during a prime-time interview shortly following the deadly shooting and again on a podcast episode. The actor originally said he had pulled the hammer of the gun back as far as he could and released it, but did not pull the trigger.<\/p>\n

Carmack-Altwies named Baldwin specifically in her request for emergency funding to prosecute the case. The DA explained that she anticipated prosecuting up to four individuals \u2013possibly including Baldwin.<\/p>\n

“The \u2018Rust\u2019 prosecution could be potentially be prosecutions from one (1) to four (4) defendants,” Carmack-Altwies wrote in paperwork filed for an emergency grant. “One of the possible defendants is well-known movie actor Alec Baldwin.”<\/p>\n

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Alec Baldwin and other key members of the production on Feb. 15, 2022.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit named Baldwin and others who “are responsible for the safety on the set” and called out “reckless behavior and cost-cutting” that led to the death of Hutchins, according to the family’s lawyer.<\/p>\n

Matthew Hutchins’ attorneys interviewed witnesses before filing and created a video compiling evidence for the wrongful death lawsuit. In the video shared at a press conference, Matthew’s lawyers reiterated claims from crew members that the “Rust” set was unsafe. The lawsuit claimed that Baldwin, who was also a producer on the film, and other “Rust” crew and cast committed “major breaches” of safety on the set.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
