The producers of “Rust” are trying to dismiss the medical suit that has been filed against them. The physician, Shannon Hughes, whose last name is actually DeLap, is a contractor for the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico, where “Rust” was filmed.
On October 21, 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed when a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin went off during a scene they were rehearsing. Director Joel Souza was hospitalized as a result of the incident.
Medic ‘Rust’ Sues For ‘Severe Emotional Stress’ After Treating Halyna Hutchins

According to court documents, Hughes was having lunch with his co-workers when they heard gunshots. He asked them if training was going on at that time and immediately ran towards the church. He said he heard a “panic call for a doctor” on his radio as he ran. When he entered the church, he saw that Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza had been seriously injured.
Hughes administered emergency treatment to Hutchins until first responders arrived. Medical experts opined that the incident caused him “shock, trauma, and severe emotional distress” that left him unable to work. He sued Bonanza Creek Ranch for negligence, saying that the injuries Hutchins and Souza suffered caused him emotional distress.

However, the plantation owner tried to have the case dismissed, insisting that his claim was based on the bystander law. It should be noted that Hughes was not injured in the shooting and did not witness it, as stated in his petition.
His claim against the first assistant director David Halls was dropped on the grounds that he did not witness the incident, and the owner of the farm “Rust” hopes for the same result.
Alec Baldwin Could Still Face Criminal Charges Over ‘Rusty’ Shooting

In January 2023, “Rust” prosecutors filed criminal charges against 65-year-old actress and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. In April, charges against the “30 Rock” actor were dropped pending further investigation. However, they were dismissed without prejudice, meaning charges could be refiled at any time.
Meanwhile, the new shield faced an additional charge of tampering with evidence in June after a witness came forward claiming he transferred cocaine to another individual on the day of the “Rust” shooting, interfering with the police investigation. He pleaded not guilty and his trial is set for February 2024.

In early June, special prosecutors stated in a legal filing that they would decide whether or not to charge Baldwin again within sixty days. However, it wasn’t until October that a source familiar with the investigation told NBC News that New Mexico prosecutors intended to charge Alec Baldwin again.
If they renew the involuntary manslaughter charge, that would be designated as a fourth-degree felony in New Mexico, which carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
Luke Nikas, an attorney for Baldwin, said in a statement, “It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has turned into this misguided prosecution. We will answer any charges in court.” Although Baldwin continually denied pulling the trigger, FBI tests maintained the trigger had to be pulled in order for the gun to fire.
Alec Baldwin Wants To Retire From Acting

Potentially as a result of filming “Rust,” the “Supercell” actor wants to retire from acting and stated that he would like to star in a reality series featuring his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and all of their children. The 65-year-old actor has seven children with his wife Hilaria as well as a daughter, Ireland Baldwin, from his marriage to ex-wife Kim Basinger.
The “30 Rock” actor told Kelly Ripa on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera that he wants to eventually retire and star in his own reality show, just like the Kardashians and Osbournes did.

The actress revealed that she was “desperate to try to work from New York” to spend more time with her family, explaining that it was difficult to travel with her extended family. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, share children Carmen, 10, Rafael, eight, Leonardo, six, Romeo, five, Eduardo and Lucia, both two, and one-year-old Ilaria.
“I have been working less and less and I am at home with my wife and we want to travel the world with the children,” he said. “I mean, I want to show seven kids Rome and London and Paris and Madrid and blah, blah, blah. And we think about it now, where we have different lives in terms of work. I was really thinking about, you know, I’ve had enough, I mean, I’ve been doing this for a long time and I want to have a personal life.
