Actor Alec Baldwin has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges for the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the 'Rust' movie set in October 2021.

Prosecutors claim Baldwin's lack of emotional control and pressure on the crew contributed to an unsafe set environment.

Witnesses allege Baldwin displayed erratic behavior that heightened safety risks.

Film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, also faces involuntary manslaughter charges for allowing live ammunition on set.

Baldwin denies responsibility, asserting he was told the gun was safe and denies pulling the trigger, pleading not guilty.

If convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison, with a trial set for July 10th.

The tragedy has raised industry-wide discussions on weapon safety protocols on film sets.

The assistant director has pleaded no contest to a related misdemeanor charge.
