On-set safety is so incredibly important.
The accidental shooting on the set of Rust shocked all of Hollywood and the world. The tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was avoidable. Now, prosecutors are coming forward with charges.
Alec Baldwin, the actor who shot Hutchins during rehearsal, will be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin has maintained he was not aware the gun contained a live round and that he did not pull the trigger.
The same charges will also be brought against armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Gutierrez Reed has sued the gun and ammunition supplier, alleging there were live rounds mixed in with dummy rounds.
