A Santa Fe district attorney will announce Thursday whether charges will be brought in the fatal 2021 film set shooting of a cinematographer by the actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal of the western Rust.
Santa Fe district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said a decision will be announced Thursday morning in a statement and on social media, without public appearances by prosecutors.
“The announcement will be a solemn occasion, made in a manner keeping with the office’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the judicial process and respecting the victim’s family,” said Heather Brewer, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died shortly after being wounded by a gunshot during setup for a scene at the ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe on 21 October 2021. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing her and wounding the director, Joel Souza.
Santa Fe’s county sheriff, Adan Mendoza, who led the initial investigation into Hutchins’ death, described “a degree of neglect” on the film set.
