Santa Fe, New Mexico District Attorney announced charges of involuntary manslaughter against Alec Baldwin in the ‘Rust’ movie set shooting. Baldwin shot the bullet that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
According to documents obtained by the New York Post in September, the DA’s office had been waiting to review evidence from an FBI investigation since October 2021 after the accidental shooting took place. Once the office received the evidence, the DA announced that she intended to pursue charges and filed for $635,500 in emergency funding to hire a specialized team, including a new prosecutor, investigator, and spokesperson, to handle the case. The DA received about half of the requested funds.
