On October 21, 2021, Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, while rehearsing a scene for the movie Rust. On January 21, 2023, the State charged Alec Baldwin with Involuntary Manslaughter. Critics have indicated that charges should not be filed since he reasonably believed the gun did not contain live ammunition.
