"Alec Baldwin Indicted for Involuntary Manslaughter in 'Rust' Movie Set Shooting"

A grand jury in Santa Fe indicted Alec Baldwin on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust" in 2021. The charge stems from Baldwin's handling of a gun during a rehearsal, with prosecutors presenting two alternative standards for pursuing the charge. Defense attorneys for Baldwin have indicated they will fight the charge. The indictment comes after special prosecutors received a new analysis of the gun used in the shooting. The case has also led to civil lawsuits and legal trouble for others involved in the production.
