Actor Alec Baldwin is reportedly worried he will have to face criminal charges for filming “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.
The 65-year-old actor was holding a prop Colt revolver for the scene when it exploded, killing Hutchins and hospital director Joel Souza. “Rust” shield Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after a live bullet was found in a gun the “30 Rock” actress was holding.
In June 2023, he was charged with tampering with evidence after prosecutors alleged that he gave a bag of cocaine to another individual on the day Hutchins died, hindering the police investigation into his death. His trial has been postponed to early 2024.
Baldwin had also been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, but those charges were dropped without prejudice in April, meaning charges could be refiled at any time. In early June, the special prosecutor stated that they would decide whether or not to prosecute within sixty days. However, those sixty days are almost up, meaning Baldwin could be charged again any time now.

Sources tell the National Inquirer that Alec Baldwin fears he will face new criminal charges following a new report conducted by gun experts in New Mexico to help the prosecution in their case against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

All three former employees described in detail what happened the day Hutchins was shot and killed. Reese Price claimed that he “saw the flash of the muzzle of the revolver in Defendant Baldwin’s hand. He felt the physical force of the gunfire in the small space. His ears started ringing. He felt as if everything was moving in slow motion. He saw Souza scream and crawl away from Defendant Baldwin. Desperate and scared, the crew began pulling on Plaintiff Price’s shirt and exiting the church. Plaintiff Price realized the gun had been fired at him and his friends.”
Ross Addiego claimed that he saw the same flash and “felt the same disorienting sound, force, and physical trauma from the shooting. He heard Souza’s muffled screams and began to wade through the chaos. He realized that he had just witnessed Defendant Baldwin fired a revolver at him and the group where he was standing.”

Doran Curtin claimed that he also felt “the same sound, force, and physical trauma” from the shooting. “He saw Hutchins fall to the ground right in front of him,” court documents state. “With Hutchins at his feet, other crew members ordered Plaintiff Curtin to remove Hutchins’ headset. He bent down and removed the equipment from Hutchins’ head. He watched in shock as Hutchins grabbed his stomach.”
It remains to be seen if Alec Baldwin will face criminal charges for her death. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has pleaded not guilty and waived her right to a preliminary hearing. His Santa Fe trial has been tentatively scheduled for February 21, 2024.
