Halyna Hutchins was killed on Oct. 21 when a gun Alec Baldwin was holding on the set of ‘Rust’ fired.

Alec Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was the armorer in the film ‘Rust, ’was also charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced the charges Thursday morning, more than a year after her tragic death.

Assistant director Dave Halls signed a plea agreement for a charge of the negligent use of a deadly weapon. The terms of his agreement included a suspended sentence and six months of probation, the district attorney announced.

No charges were filed in the non-fatal shooting of director Joel Souza.

Halyna died when a gun Alec Baldwin was holding fired, while practicing a scene on Oct. 21, 2021. The group had been rehearsing in a small church on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set.

Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the gun – once during a prime-time interview shortly following the deadly shooting and again on a podcast episode. The actor originally said he had pulled the hammer of the gun back as far as he could and released it, but did not pull the trigger.

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Alec Baldwin and other key members of the production on Feb. 15, 2022.
