Actor Alec Baldwin was officially charged with involuntary manslaughter, following a movie set shooting in October that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin was reportedly on the phone with family members while rehearsing with a firearm for the movie “Rust,” where he fatally shot Hutchins.
According to documents released on Tuesday, Baldwin has been charged with at least a dozen “acts or omissions of recklessness” leading up to the shooting, including not dealing with safety complaints on set, and not using a replica firearm for an unscheduled rehearsal.
The movie’s armorer is also facing the same charges.
If found guilty, both Baldwin and the armorer could face up to 18 months in prison, in addition to a USD5,000 fine.
