On the evening of October 22, 2021, Alec Baldwin discharged a gun that was being used as a prop in a scene for a movie titled 'Rust', striking and killing a cinematographer named Halyna Hutchins (42). The director, Joel Souza, was also struck in the shoulder, but survived. Baldwin was subsequently indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Hutchins.

The latest news on the case is that the armorer of the film, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins. The conviction followed a 'no contest' plea by an assistant director on the charge of negligent handling of a firearm. The prosecution alleged that Gutierrez-Reed unknowingly brought live ammunition onto the set but also disregarded basic gun safety guidelines set by the industry.
