TL;DR Summary

Special prosecutors plan to present a criminal case against Alec Baldwin to the New Mexico Grand Jury in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust. Baldwin, who was one of the producers, was holding a Colt .45 gun during a rehearsal when it went off, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Prosecutors dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin earlier but now believe there is new evidence showing his criminal culpability. The film's armorer is set to go on trial in February, while the legal saga surrounding the case continues.
