Actor Alec Baldwin and a weapons specialist will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer who was killed on a New Mexico movie set, prosecutors announced Thursday, citing a “criminal disregard for safety.”

A Santa Fe district attorney is prepared to announce whether to press charges in the fatal 2021 film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said a decision will be announced Thursday morning, Jan. 19, 2022, in a statement and on social media platforms.SANTA FE, N.M.

Involuntary manslaughter can involve a killing that happens while a defendant is doing something that is lawful but dangerous and is acting negligently or without caution. “If any one of these three people — Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed or David Halls — done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It’s that simple,” said Reeb, also a newly sworn Republican state legislator.

In his lawsuit, Baldwin said that while working on camera angles with Hutchins during rehearsal for a scene, he pointed the gun in her direction and pulled back and released the hammer of the weapon, which discharged. The armorer who oversaw firearms on the set, Gutierrez Reed, has been the subject of much of the scrutiny in the case, along with an independent ammunition supplier. An attorney for Gutierrez Reed has said she did not put a live round in the gun that killed Hutchins, and she believes she was the victim of sabotage. Authorities said they have found no evidence of that.

Alec Baldwin facing involuntary manslaughter charges for killing cinematographer on ‘Rust’ movie setProsecutors on Thursday announced Baldwin will be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin had a duty, they said, to ensure the gun and the bullets were properly checked and that he should never have pointed it at anyone. Good. This entire tragedy could have been easily avoided. If the gun is in your hand...it's your responsibility to be sure it's not loaded. And NEVER point a gun at anyone you don't intent to kill...loaded or not. Trust no one...check it yourself. Basic gun safety.

Alec Baldwin to be charged with manslaughter in movie set shootingNEW: Prosecutors announced that actor Alec Baldwin will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer who was killed on a New Mexico movie set. I think this prosecution amounts to victim blaming. I'd say the same thing if the actor in question had political and cultural views that were polar opposite from mine.

Alec Baldwin to face involuntary manslaughter charges for movie shooting deathBREAKING: Alec Baldwin will be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal “Rust” set shooting, New Mexico’s district attorney’s office said. What a bunch of shiiiiit. Wonder if it is a Trump appointed judge cus he hated Baldwin. PUT TRUMP IN JAIL FIRST!!! That's correct. That is the appropriate charge here. If a police officer fully trained in firearms and firearm safety accidentally discharges his sidearm and kills someone - they are always charged with involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin can't get a pass if trained police don't. I dont think he was solely to blame. Prop people too. If he would have fired only one shot, saw damage and stopped is one thing, buts its my understanding he was firing after producer fell over.
