New Mexico: Criminal charges may still be filed over last week’s fatal shooting on a film set of Alec Baldwin Movie ‘Rust’ in New Mexico, US police informed.
Actor Alec Baldwin accidentally shot dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded a director on the set of the Western film Rust.
“All options are on the table,” District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said of any potential charges. “No one has been ruled out at this point.”
Investigators also said there was “some complacency” around safety on the set.
Several legal experts, however, have said it is unlikely that criminal charges will be filed against Baldwin.
The actor, known for his work on shows like 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, is named as both an actor and producer on Rust. He is co-operating with investigators and has expressed his shock over what he described as a “tragic accident”.
The incident has sparked debate about safety regulations on Hollywood sets and the use of prop guns on productions.
