Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Gun Found Improper, Charges Dropped.

TL;DR Summary
The involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin following the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust" has been dropped, in part, because investigators found the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins to be mechanically improper. The trigger control was not functioning properly, and the gun could fire without pressure on the trigger. Involuntary manslaughter charges are still in place against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons supervisor on the film.
