An image of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who died after being shot by Alec Baldwin on the set of his movie Rust, is displayed at a vigil in her honour in Albuquerque, New Mexico, US, on Oct 23, 2021.Producers of the Western movie Rust on Friday said they had agreed to pay a $100,000 civil fine for "serious" workplace safety breaches prior to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico film set in 2021.

Hutchins was killed when actor Alec Baldwin fired a live round from a gun he was using during a rehearsal. Director Joel Souza was injured. Under the settlement, RMP's fine marked the largest workplace safety penalty in over a decade in New Mexico but was reduced from an original citation of $136,793, according to the OHSB.
