Alec Baldwin faces new manslaughter charge over fatal ‘Rust’ shooting

Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter over a fatal movie set shooting in 2021.

He had been rehearsing a scene for the western movie ‘Rust’ in New Mexico when the prop gun he was holding fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Previous criminal charges against the actor were dropped last April, based on evidence that the gun’s hammer might have been modified allowing it to be shot without the trigger being pulled.

Baldwin has maintained that he only drew back the hammer of the pistol.
