TL;DR

New Mexico prosecutors will charge Alec Baldwin with manslaughter if further testing shows that his gun was working at the time of the Rust shooting. The only pending charge in the case is against Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film’s armorer, who is accused of negligently loading a live round into Baldwin’s gun. The prosecutors are making a “herculean effort” to determine who introduced live rounds onto the set of Rust. A decision is expected within 60 days.
