On October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Bonanza City, New Mexico, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured on the set of the film Rust when a live round was discharged from a revolver that actor Alec Baldwin was using as a prop.

The incident was investigated by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney, the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In an affidavit, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office stated that neither Baldwin nor first assistant director David Halls knew that the gun in question was loaded.[1] On January 31, 2023, the Santa Fe district attorney charged Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with one count each of involuntary manslaughter. Halls agreed to plead guilty to the charge of the negligent use of a deadly weapon.[2]

On February 23, 2023, Baldwin pleaded not guilty,[3] and on April 20, it was reported that prosecutors had indicated that the charges against him were being dropped.[4] Gutierrez-Reed was later charged with tampering with evidence.[5] On March 6, 2024, Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter but was acquitted on the evidence tampering charge.[6] Gutierrez-Reed was then remanded into police custody and sentenced to 18 months in prison on April 15, 2024;[7] she was released on May 23, 2025.[8] On January 19, 2024, Baldwin was again indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter;[9] he pleaded not guilty.[10] Baldwin's trial began on July 9, 2024,[11] but the charges were dismissed with prejudice three days later over a Brady disclosure violation.[12][13] The judge found that authorities, in an "intentional and deliberate" manner, withheld evidence from the defense regarding a set of bullets, and that this displayed "signs of scorching prejudice".[14][15]

The incident prompted a public discussion on occupational safety in the film industry, the treatment of its employees, and the use of real guns as props.

Background

[edit]
Actor and Rust producer Alec Baldwin

Writer and director Joel Souza conceived the story for Rust with actor and producer Alec Baldwin. The Western film was produced on a small budget of $6–7 million and was Baldwin's passion project. Its distribution rights were sold for $2 million during the pre-production phase.[16][17] The production had a filming schedule of 21 days.[16][18] Filming began on October 6, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Bonanza City, New Mexico, a ghost town located thirteen miles south of Santa Fe.[19][20]

Responsible for overseeing all weapons on set was the production's property key assistant and armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, stepdaughter of long-time industry armorer Thell Reed.[21][22] Rust was Gutierrez-Reed's second film serving as lead armorer. On her first film, The Old Way, several crew members complained about her handling of firearms, including an incident in which she discharged a weapon without warning and caused lead actor Nicolas Cage to walk off set.[23]

David Halls was the assistant director. In the aftermath of the incident, former colleagues reported that Halls faced complaints in 2019 about his behavior during the filming of two episodes of Into the Dark; the complaints indicated that he allegedly disregarded safety protocols by ignoring blocked exits and a fire lane.[24][25] In the same year, Halls had been fired from working on the film Freedom's Path after a firearm discharged unexpectedly on set, wounding a crew member.[26][27]

On the set of the independent film One Way, a crew member warned producers about Halls's disregard for safety measures and said, "That man is a liability. He's going to fucking kill someone someday, and you're going to be responsible." However, the film's digital imaging technician disputes this claim, saying he knew Halls to be conscientious about safety.[28] The Hollywood Reporter reported a number of complaints raised during the production of 2019's The Tiger Rising, which also featured Rust executive producers Ryan Donnell Smith, Allen Cheney, Emily Hunter Salveson, and Ryan Winterstern.[29]

Union disputes and safety complaints

[edit]

The beginning of Rust's production came amidst a potential strike by members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) over working conditions and low pay. On October 4, it was announced that IATSE members voted 98.68% in favor of authorizing a strike, with a voter turnout of 89.66% of eligible voters.[30][31] Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins supported IATSE.[32] She wrote in an Instagram post: "Standing in #IAsolidarity with our @IATSE crew here in New Mexico on RUST."[33]

Some crew members claim firearms safety protocols were not distributed with the call sheets and were not strictly followed on the set. They claim there was no medic present during the construction of the film's sets.[20] Crew members grew upset with what they claimed was a lack of adequate hotel rooms. Crew members alleged producers would only allow the local New Mexico crew courtesy room rentals after working 13 hours "on the clock". Some claimed they were only left with six hours to sleep after long drives home. However, a source close to the production said their union contract indicated a hotel would be provided if the travel distance was more than 60 miles (100 km) and that producers would provide a hotel for crew after 13.5 hours or more on set. The source also claimed that hotels were provided to crew on days they worked 10–12 hours if call time was before 6 a.m. and production wrapped after 7 p.m.[34]

It has been reported that some crew members believe they were mocked for wanting to avoid a one-hour drive from Albuquerque.[20] Several crew members also claimed that they were not being paid on time.[19][20] A crew member added, "We cited everything from lack of payment for three weeks, taking our hotels away despite asking for them in our deals, lack of COVID safety, and on top of that, poor gun safety! Poor on-set safety period!"[35] Before the incident occurred, two prop guns had previously fired a total of three times unintentionally. Baldwin's stunt double had accidentally fired two blanks when he was told a prop gun was "cold", and the film's prop master shot herself in the foot with a blank round.[20][19][36][37]

In a letter signed by 25 crew members, these claims were disputed. In the letter, the crew writes that they "believe the public narrative surrounding our workplace tragedy to be inadequate and wish to express a more accurate account of our experience". The letter added that "The descriptions of Rust as a chaotic, dangerous and exploitative workplace are false and distract from what matters the most: the memory of (DP) Halyna Hutchins, and the need to find modern alternatives to outdated industry firearm and safety practices."[38] The letter went on to state the following:

"Unfortunately, in the film industry, it is common to work on unprofessional or hectic productions to gain experience and credits. Many of us have worked on those types of productions. Rust was not one of them. Rust was professional. We do acknowledge that no set is perfect, and like any production, Rust had areas of brilliance and areas that were more challenging. While we stand firmly with our unions and strongly support the fight for better working conditions across our industry, we do not feel that this set was a representation of the kind of conditions our unions are fighting against."[38][39][40]

Many of the IATSE union rules regarding firearms handling are similar to those of other unions supporting actors, including the Actors Equity and Screen Actors Guild, which cover stage and screen actors respectively.[41][42]

Events of October 21

[edit]

Preparations for the rehearsal

[edit]

On the morning of October 21, 2021, which was to be the twelfth day of filming, seven unionized members of the film's camera crew began collecting their belongings at approximately 6:30 a.m. MT in a walkout.[20] They claim they were told to leave the set, with a producer threatening to call the police, and were replaced with nonunion crew members.[19][35] According to a statement given to TheWrap by an anonymous insider, several crew members took a number of prop guns off-set that day, including the firearm involved in the incident, to pass the time shooting at beer cans with live ammunition.[43] After a lunch break, the prop guns had been returned.[43] It is not clear if the firearms were checked again.[18] On October 26, the Santa Fe County district attorney said these claims were still unconfirmed.[44]

Later that day, the cast and crew were rehearsing a gunfight scene taking place inside of a church at the Bonanza Creek Ranch. Firearms and ammunition were retrieved from a locked safe and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed placed three guns to be used in filming on a cart.[20] Among them were a plastic gun that could not shoot live ammunition, a modified weapon that could not fire any type of ammunition, and a solid-frame .45 Colt revolver replica made by Pietta.[20][45][46][47]

According to a search warrant, the guns were briefly checked by Gutierrez-Reed, before assistant director David Halls took the Pietta revolver from the prop cart and handed it to Baldwin.[48][49] In a subsequent affidavit, Halls said the safety protocol regarding this firearm was such that Halls would open the loading gate of the revolver and rotate the cylinder to expose the chambers so he could inspect them himself. According to the affidavit, Halls said he did not check all cylinder chambers, but he recalled seeing three rounds in the cylinder at the time. After the shooting, Halls said in the affidavit, Gutierrez-Reed retrieved the weapon and opened it, and Halls said that he saw four rounds which were plainly blanks, and one which could have been the remaining shell of a discharged live round.[50] In the warrant, it is further stated that Halls announced the term "cold gun", meaning that it did not contain live rounds.[48] Halls's lawyer, Lisa Torraco, later sought to assert that he did not take the gun off the cart and hand it to Baldwin as reported, but when pressed by a reporter to be clear, she refused to repeat that assertion.[51]

Rehearsal and shooting incident

[edit]

B-camera operator Reid Russell was situated on a camera dolly, looking at a monitor with Hutchins and Souza both nearby. The scene involved Baldwin's character removing a gun from its holster and pointing it toward the camera.[20][18] The trio behind the monitor were two feet (0.6 m) from the muzzle of the firearm and none of them were wearing protective gear such as noise-canceling headphones or safety goggles.[20]

The trio behind the monitor began repositioning the camera to remove a shadow, and Baldwin began explaining to the crew how he planned to draw the firearm.[18] He said, "So, I guess I'm gonna take this out, pull it, and go, 'Bang!'"[20] He removed it from the holster, and the revolver discharged a single time. Baldwin denied pulling the trigger of the gun, while ABC News described a later FBI report stating that the gun could only fire if the trigger was pulled.[52][53] Halls was quoted by his attorney Lisa Torraco as saying that Baldwin did not pull the trigger, and that Baldwin's finger was never within the trigger guard during the incident.[54] When the gun fired, the projectile traveled towards the three behind the monitor. It struck Hutchins in the chest, traveled through her body, and then hit Souza in the shoulder.[19][48][55] Script supervisor Mamie Mitchell called 911 at 1:46 p.m. MT and emergency crews appeared three minutes later.[20] Footage of the incident was not recorded.[45]

Hutchins was flown by helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, where she was pronounced dead.[56] Souza was treated by EMS and transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, where he was admitted and released by the following morning.[57]

As a result of the incident, production on Rust was suspended indefinitely,[56] though co-producer Anjul Nigam was confident the film would resume production once the investigation ended. However, Nigam later clarified that he meant to express optimism and hope, rather than confidence, as he stated that many involved in the production hope to honor Hutchins by completing her final work.[58][59]

Criminal charges

[edit]

Investigation

[edit]

On October 21, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office said it was investigating "what type of projectile was discharged" and how the event occurred. Baldwin was questioned and left without charges filed.[60][61][56]

On October 22, Baldwin sent out a tweet expressing his shock and sadness, he also indicated his full cooperation in the ongoing police investigation regarding the incident:

"There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."[62][63]

The Sheriff's Office confirmed the cooperation.[1] On October 22, the Santa Fe County Magistrate issued two search warrants.[64][65] In an affidavit, the Sheriff's Office said neither Halls nor Baldwin knew the gun was loaded.[1] On October 27, after issuing another search warrant,[66] the department said they had recovered over 600 items as evidence, including 500 rounds of ammunition which were a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and suspected live rounds. They added that a projectile had been recovered from Souza's shoulder, which they categorized as a suspected live round.[45]

The incident was also under investigation by the state's First Judicial District Attorney, as well as the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[67][68][69] The film's production company, Rust Movie Productions, was conducting an internal review.[35] On October 26, the film's producers said they had hired a legal team from Jenner & Block to conduct an investigation and interview the cast and crew about the incident.[44] On the same day, women's rights attorney Gloria Allred and her law firm Allred, Maroko & Goldberg were confirmed to be investigating the incident and representing Rust script supervisor Mamie Mitchell.[70] On October 28, Halls hired Albuquerque attorney Lisa Torraco as his defense lawyer; Gutierrez-Reed hired former Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Bowles as her lawyer.[71]

On November 3, Bowles gave a television interview in which he suggested that the incident was the result of "sabotage". Without naming any individuals, Bowles cited the walkout of the camera crew earlier on October 21, calling the crew "disgruntled" and implying that one of them may have been motivated to "tamper with this scene" by placing a live round in the chamber of the Pietta revolver.[72] On November 10, Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said "we do not have any proof" of sabotage and added, "The defense attorneys, we don't have the same information that they do, but until we have it in our hands, it doesn't play into the decision making process."[73] That same day, Bowles continued to spread his theory and said his team "are convinced that this was sabotage and Hannah is being framed."[74] In December 2021, Gutierrez-Reed's father Thell Reed said there was "a lot of motive" for the incident to be sabotage.[75]

On December 2, 2021, ABC television host George Stephanopoulos interviewed Baldwin.[76] On December 6, Baldwin deleted his Twitter account.[77] On December 16, it was reported that Santa Fe police had obtained a search warrant for Baldwin's mobile phone,[78][79] which was handed over on January 14, 2022.[80]

In August 2022, FBI forensic testing and investigation of the firearm determined the Pietta .45 Long Colt Single Action Army revolver could not have been fired without a trigger pull from a quarter cocked, half-cocked, or fully cocked hammer position. It was also determined that the internal components of the revolver were intact and functional which ruled out mechanical failure as a reason for an accidental discharge. Baldwin stated during a December 2021 interview for ABC News that "the trigger wasn't pulled" and "I didn't pull the trigger."[53]

In August 2023, a second analysis of the Pietta from a firearms expert concluded that the revolver could only have been fired by a pull of the trigger. The report also stated that the gun was reconstructed after it was broken during earlier testing by the FBI and was later "found to function properly and in accordance with the operational design of original Colt 1873 single-action revolvers."[81]

Prosecution

[edit]

On April 20, 2022, the state of New Mexico's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau fined Rust Movie Productions $136,793 (USD) for firearms safety failures after it was confirmed that David Halls, an assistant director and safety coordinator, handed a large-caliber revolver to Alec Baldwin without consulting with on-set weapons specialists prior to or after the gun was loaded. Regulators note that Halls had previously witnessed two other accidental discharges of rifles on set, but he took no investigative, corrective or disciplinary action.[82] In February 2023, the producers agreed to pay a reduced penalty of $100,000 to resolve the OSHA case with the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau.[83]

On January 19, 2023, New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said she would charge Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed with one count each of involuntary manslaughter. Halls signed a plea agreement for the charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon.[84]

Carmack-Altwies hired Andrea Reeb as a special prosecutor for the case. Carmack-Altwies said that she would be handling the case in conjunction with Reeb.[85] On March 14, 2023, Reeb announced her resignation.[86] On March 29, after a New Mexico judge denied Carmack-Altwies' request to bring on a new special prosecutor and serve as co-counsel, the Santa Fe district attorney also stepped aside and appointed a pair of veteran New Mexico attorneys Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis as special prosecutors to take over the high-profile case.[87][88] In April 2024, Lewis withdrew from the case and attorney Erlinda Johnson was appointed as a special prosecutor.[89][90] She resigned just before the charges against Baldwin were dismissed.[91]

On January 31, 2023, Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were officially charged with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting.[92] One of Baldwin's attorneys was John Bash.[93] However, after Baldwin's lawyers argued that he was incorrectly being charged under a version of the law that was not passed until months after the shooting, the prosecutors downgraded the charges. Thereafter, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed faced a maximum of 18 months in prison if found guilty.[94] On February 23, Baldwin pleaded not guilty.[95] It was also reported that he could still work, but also accepted pre-trial conditions which include a prohibition on consuming alcohol and not having possession of weapons, including firearms.[95]

On March 31, 2023, Halls pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation, a $500 fine and 24 hours of community service.[96]

On April 20, 2023, lawyers for Baldwin announced that the criminal charges against him had been dropped by prosecutors. In a statement, Baldwin's attorneys said "We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident." A lawyer for Gutierrez-Reed said they were aware of the charges on Baldwin being dropped, but the charges against Gutierrez-Reed remained.[4][97][98] Investigations into the shooting continued; according to the special prosecutors in the case, charges against Baldwin "may be re-filed".[99]

On June 22, 2023, Gutierrez-Reed faced a second charge of tampering with evidence, in which the special prosecutors allege that she transferred "narcotics to another person with the intent to prevent the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of herself."[5] They later specify from a June 29 court filing that she attempted to conceal a small bag of cocaine the night of the fatal shooting after her initial police interview.[100] On August 4, 2023, Gutierrez-Reed waived her right to a preliminary hearing to determine whether or not the criminal charges would stand, thus allowing the trial to move forward and on August 9, she pleaded not guilty to both charges.[101][102] On August 21, a New Mexico judge scheduled her trial to run February 21 through March 6, 2024.[103]

On October 17, 2023, six months after felony charges were dropped against Baldwin, prosecutors announced their intent to ask a grand jury to determine whether he should again be criminally charged in the death of Halyna Hutchins.[104] On January 19, 2024, exactly one year to the day involuntary manslaughter charges were first announced against Baldwin, he was indicted again on the said charge in Hutchins's death.[9][105][106] On January 31, he pleaded not guilty and under the conditions of release, Baldwin was barred from possessing any firearms, consuming alcohol, leaving the country or coming into contact with anyone who may testify in the case.[10] On February 26, a judge scheduled his trial to run July 9 through July 19, 2024.[107]

On March 6, 2024, after a jury deliberated for about two hours, Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty on the charge of involuntary manslaughter but acquitted of tampering with evidence. Almost immediately after the verdict was read, she was remanded into custody until her sentencing hearing set for April 15, 2024.[6][108][109][7] On March 29, a judge denied a motion from her lawyers for a new trial.[110] On April 15, 2024, Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison.[111] She was released on May 23, 2025 after completing her sentence.[8] Under the conditions of parole, Gutierrez-Reed is barred from contacting any member of Hutchins's family and owning firearms, and required to undergo a mental health assessment, meet regularly with a parole officer and agree to electronic monitoring.[112]

On May 24, 2024, Sante Fe-based Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied a motion which was filed by Baldwin to dismiss his trial, thus clearing the way to move forward.[113][114] The trial began on July 9, 2024. On the first day, 12 jurors and 4 alternative jurors were selected.[115][113][116] On July 10, opening statements got underway, with the prosecution arguing that the gun assigned to Baldwin when the shooting took place "worked perfectly fine" and that Baldwin didn't do a gun safety check with the "inexperienced" armorer and pulled the trigger "in reckless disregard for Miss Hutchins's safety."[117]

On the evening of July 11, 2024, Baldwin's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the case over allegations prosecutors hid evidence regarding the source of the bullets loaded into the gun.[118] A set of bullets had been submitted to the authorities, with the witness claiming the bullets were related to the Rust case, but the bullets were filed under a different case number and the defense were not informed of them.[12] The next day on July 12, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice over a Brady disclosure violation.[12][13] Judge Sommer found that the authorities had "unilaterally withheld the supplemental report [regarding the bullets]. Santa Fe County Sheriff’s officer made the decision — and apparently also with the prosecutor […] that the evidence was of no evidentiary value and failed to connect the evidence to the case."[14] Sommer further opined that the authorities' "willful withholding of this information was intentional and deliberate. If this conduct does not rise to the level of bad faith, it certainly comes so near to bad faith as to show signs of scorching prejudice".[119]

On September 4, 2024, the prosecutor filed an appeal to overturn the decision which dismissed the case with prejudice.[120] On September 5, the judge denied the prosecutor's bid to revive the manslaughter charge due to the motion exceeding ten pages; a revised motion was promptly submitted by the afternoon of September 6 which met the page limit.[121] On September 26, a motion for Gutierrez-Reed's case to be retried or dismissed on the same basis as the dismissal of Baldwin's manslaughter charge was heard;[122][123] the motion was denied on September 30, with Judge Sommer ruling that Gutierrez-Reed's defense had failed to establish that any suppressed evidence would have produced a different verdict.[124][125] A motion for Gutierrez-Reed's immediate release from prison was also denied with Sommer saying that Gutierrez-Reed's defense had not established that she was unlikely to "flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community if released".[126][124][125] On October 25, Judge Sommer again upheld her dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin, ruling that the prosecution failed to raise any factual or legal arguments which would have justified reversing her decision.[127] On December 23, the prosecutor withdrew her second appeal of the judge's order dismissing the case after the state attorney general's office said it "did not intend to exhaustively pursue the appeal on behalf of the prosecution", officially bringing Baldwin's manslaughter case to an end.[128]

Civil lawsuits

[edit]

On November 10, 2021, Rust gaffer Serge Svetnoy filed a lawsuit against the production for general negligence,[129] and on April 29, 2023, added assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress to the lawsuit.[130]

A second lawsuit was filed on November 17, 2021, by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who says the script did not call for the discharging of a firearm.[131] On January 23, 2022, Baldwin and other producers filed a memorandum that asked a California judge to dismiss the lawsuit.[15] In November 2022, the court rejected a request to dismiss Mitchell's lawsuit against Baldwin and his production company[132] and in March 2023, the judge paused her civil case until February 2024.[133] The lawsuit was dismissed on April 2, 2024.[134]

On January 12, 2022, Gutierrez-Reed filed a lawsuit against armorer Seth Kenney and his company PDQ Arm and Prop for allegedly bringing the live rounds on set in a box of ammunition that she alleged arrived the day of the shooting.[135]

On February 15, 2022, after nearly three months of legal preparation,[136][137] Hutchins's husband Matthew and son Andros filed a wrongful death suit which named Baldwin, Halls, Gutierrez-Reed, prop master Sarah Zachry, and others as defendants and sought unspecified damages.[138] In October 2022, the Hutchins family settled the lawsuit.[139]

On February 7, 2022, Rust key medic Cherlyn Schaefer filed a lawsuit against the production and several crew members for negligence.[140] The lawsuit was partially settled in May 8, 2022 for $1.15 million from prop master Sarah Zachry.[141]

On February 9, 2023, Hutchins's parents and sister filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and the production for negligence.[142] This lawsuit was dismissed on June 13, 2024.[143]

On February 27, 2023, three former crew members, Ross Addiego, Doran Curtin and Reese Price, also filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and the production for negligence.[144] The lawsuit was settled in June 2025.[145]

On June 5, 2024, Hutchins's family and former script supervisor Mamie Mitchell filed a new negligence lawsuit against Baldwin and the production in Santa Fe, New Mexico after their original suits were withdrawn in Los Angeles Superior Court.[146] Shortly after the criminal case against Baldwin was dismissed on July 12, 2024, lawyers for Hutchins's widower and parents vowed to continue civil litigation against the actor.[147][148] On March 3, 2025, lawyers for Hutchins's parents and sister filed a notice of deposition against Baldwin for his role in Hutchins's death.[149]

On January 9, 2025, Baldwin filed a civil rights lawsuit against the district attorney and other officials in Santa Fe, New Mexico alleging wrongful prosecution for manslaughter in the death of Hutchins.[150] The lawsuit was dismissed on July 30, 2025,[151] but Baldwin filed a motion to reinstate in September 2025, which was accepted the following month, and on October 21, 2025, the defendants filed to move the case from state to federal court.[152]

On October 22, 2025, Rust prop supplier Seth Kenney filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and the production alleging defamation in the wake of Hutchins's death.[153]

Future of the film

[edit]

On October 15, 2022, it was announced that filming was set to resume in January 2023, in California, with Matthew Hutchins as an executive producer.[154] Many of the film's crew gave mixed reactions towards the news, with some supporting it and planning on resuming their work on it, while others condemned the decision and decided to not return.[155]

To get the permit to film, New Mexico requires at least a $1 million insurance policy. The production company had that in addition to a commercial umbrella policy for another $5 million, issued by Front Row Insurance Brokers. However, the insurance company may not pay if the accident is shown to be due to negligence and/or if there were certain exclusions in the policy wording of the insurance policy.[156][157]

The film was eventually released in U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025. On its opening day received a low box office of $25,000 from 115 theaters, with the shooting incident being partially blamed for this low performance.[158] The same day, it was released on video-on-demand streaming.[159]

Reactions

[edit]

The International Cinematographers Guild announced it would hold a candlelight vigil on the evenings of October 23 and 24 for Hutchins. The Guild additionally set up a GoFundMe fundraiser for Hutchins's family.[160] The American Film Institute (AFI) announced that it would set up a scholarship program for women cinematographers in Hutchins's name.[161] On October 24, a vigil took place in New Mexico to mourn Hutchins's death. Industry professionals, including a number of Hollywood actors, were among those who attended the event in Albuquerque. Some attendees also called for better safety measures to be taken on film sets.[162]

On October 29, Gutierrez-Reed released a statement saying that "the whole production set became unsafe" due to several factors that included a lack of safety meetings and her having to work two positions, preventing her from focusing full-time on her position as armorer. The statement also said that she "fought for training, days to maintain weapons, and proper time to prepare for gunfire but ultimately was overruled by production and her department", and that she had no idea where the live rounds came from.[36] On November 1, Halls released a statement to the New York Post in which he paid his respects to Hutchins and said he hoped the incident would cause "the industry to reevaluate its values and practices to ensure no one is harmed through the creative process again".[163]

Prop gun debate

The shooting sparked debates about the use of guns as props on film sets.[164][165][166] Shannon Lee, the daughter of Hong Kong-American actor and martial arts expert Bruce Lee, and the sister of Brandon Lee, an actor who was killed by a similar accidental shooting from a prop firearm on the film set of The Crow in 1993, called for mandatory gun safety training and a reduction of the use of firearms as props, stating that "with all the special effects that are possible and all of the technology, there is no reason to have a prop gun or a gun on a set that can fire a projectile of any sort".[167][168] Similar comments were echoed by others who knew Lee or had worked with him on The Crow.[169][170] This led director Rupert Sanders, who directed the 2024 film adaptation of The Crow starring Bill Skarsgård, to ban all real guns from his set and use Airsoft guns instead, deeming the cost "worth it" as long as it ensured the safety and comfort of his cast and crew.[171] Bill Dill, a cinematographer who was a teacher for Hutchins at the AFI, also suggested using special effects instead, calling it "archaic" that "real guns with blanks in them" are used in film.[172] On October 22, The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley announced that the show would ban live guns from set, stating that "it is now policy on The Rookie that all gunfire on set will be Airsoft guns with CGI muzzle flashes added in post."[173]

Firearms safety expert Dave Brown disputed the need to use only fake or toy guns in future film productions. In an article for CNN, he wrote that incidents such as this one "are the result not of including firearms on a film set but of a cavalier attitude towards safety" and "[w]hen handled responsibly, firearms are as safe as any other prop on a film set." He explained that, "On a safe production, each firearm is meticulously inspected every time it changes hands. It means every take of every angle of every scene; the same prop gun could be checked and re-checked dozens upon dozens of times in a single day. Live ammunition, without question, is never allowed on set."[174]

The shooting sparked debates about the use of guns in films and television more generally. In an article for The Conversation, Brad Bushman of Ohio State University and Dan Romer of the University of Pennsylvania argued that "the gun industry pays production companies to place its products in their movies. They are rewarded with frequent appearances on screen," and that "the more guns there are in movies, the more likely it is that a shooting will occur – both in the 'reel' world and in the 'real' world."[175] An editorial for the Los Angeles Times said the incident "raises the bigger issue of the proliferation of guns in shows and movies. Weapons are often part of plot points but do they need to be? TV and movie cops brandish and fire their weapons often, but in reality, a police officer rarely draws his or her gun (outside of a shooting range) in the course of an entire career."[176]

Occupational safety criticism

[edit]

The shooting also sparked debates about working conditions on film sets.[177][178][179] In a speech at a vigil, IATSE vice-president Michael Miller said, "I'm afraid we are also gathered with some frustration and a little bit of anger. Anger that too often the rush to complete productions and the cutting of corners puts safety on the back burner and puts crew members at risk."[180] In a Facebook post, the gaffer on the film set, Serge Svetnoy, said that "to save a dime sometimes [producers] hire people who are not fully qualified for the complicated and dangerous job."[181]

Rust shooting incident

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The Rust shooting incident refers to the fatal discharge of a prop firearm on October 21, 2021, during the filming of the Western movie at Bonanza Creek Ranch near , in which actor and producer fired a containing a live round that killed cinematographer , aged 42, and wounded director . The bullet passed through Hutchins' chest before striking Souza, with Hutchins pronounced dead later that day at the Hospital. An investigation by New Mexico's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (OHSB) determined that Rust Movie Productions committed willful violations of safety protocols, including failing to ensure guns were checked for live and demonstrating indifference to worker safety, resulting in a maximum fine of $136,793—the highest allowable under state law. Live rounds, prohibited on set, had been inadvertently introduced and mixed with dummy , with David Halls declaring the gun "cold" (unloaded) before handing it to Baldwin. Legal proceedings highlighted lapses in weapons handling: armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary in March 2024 for negligently loading the live round and sentenced to 18 months in prison, serving her term before release in May 2025 pending appeal. Baldwin faced similar charges, but his involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed with prejudice in July 2024 after prosecutors withheld evidence related to testing; as of October 2025, Baldwin is pursuing a lawsuit against authorities, now in federal court. The incident underscored systemic failures in industry firearm protocols, prompting calls for enhanced safety training and verification amid prior set complaints about rushed conditions and inadequate armorer supervision.

Production Background

Film Overview and Key Personnel

is a low-budget American written and directed by , starring as the outlaw Harland Rust, with Baldwin also serving as producer and co-writer of the story. The narrative centers on an aging gunslinger who rescues his 13-year-old grandson, sentenced to hang for accidentally killing a rancher in 1880s , as the pair evade a determined lawman. Cinematographer , a Ukrainian-born filmmaker, handled the visuals for the production. To manage costs on the modestly funded project, 24-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was hired as the armorer responsible for firearms safety and handling, marking her first time leading armory duties on a despite her limited professional experience in the role. Due to budget constraints, she also doubled as props assistant, a combined position that industry veterans have noted as atypical and indicative of understaffing to cut expenses. took place at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a historic film location near . The production, Baldwin's passion project, encountered delays from the before resuming filming in 2021.

Prior Safety Incidents and Protocols

Five days before the fatal shooting, on October 16, 2021, two prop firearm misfires occurred on the Rust set at Bonanza Creek Ranch. Assistant art director Sarah Zachary fired a blank round from a revolver while inspecting it for emptiness, propelling wadding that struck and injured cinematographer Chip Driver in the shoulder. Later that day, props master Israel Mora inadvertently discharged two additional blank rounds from a different firearm. These events heightened crew concerns over firearms handling, with Driver later reporting the injury required medical attention and contributed to broader unease about safety protocols. Standard industry guidelines, including those from SAG-AFTRA, mandate that a qualified armorer oversee all firearm handling, storage, and loading, with requirements for visual and physical inspections before each use, prohibition of live ammunition on set, and mandatory safety briefings prior to scenes involving weapons. Additional protocols emphasize training for personnel handling guns and verification that only certified blanks or dummies are used. On Rust, these were undermined by the armorer's limited experience—Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's first feature as head armorer—and inconsistent enforcement, such as guns being passed between untrained crew without re-inspection. Ammunition for Rust was sourced from PDQ Arm & Prop, operated by Seth Kenney, who supplied inert dummy rounds alongside separate batches of blanks; however, investigators found evidence of live .45-caliber rounds—marked only with Sharpie dots rather than standard three-dot indicators for dummies—intermingled in containers, evading verification. Gutierrez-Reed later alleged in a that PDQ failed to properly segregate or label ammo, allowing potential contamination despite her requests for clearer supplies. This reliance on an external vendor without rigorous on-site differentiation deviated from protocols requiring armorers to confirm ammunition type independently. The production's low-budget constraints fostered a pattern of shortcuts in firearms oversight, including rushed or omitted safety meetings and denied requests for additional time to conduct thorough gun checks. OSHA cited producers for a willful violation, noting management awareness of non-compliance with training and inspection requirements to prioritize filming schedules. Crew affidavits described a chaotic environment where cost pressures led to armorer duties being split with props work, reducing dedicated oversight.

Union and Labor Disputes

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) camera crew on the Rust production walked off the set on the morning of October 21, 2021, protesting grueling work schedules, including 12- to 14-hour days for two consecutive weeks without a day off, inadequate lodging accommodations requiring a 45-minute commute from crew housing, and lax protocols such as inconsistent testing and distancing measures. These local disputes compounded broader IATSE contract negotiations at the time, which emphasized quality-of-life issues like limits and periods amid industry-wide from pandemic-era backlogs. Following the , Rust Movie Productions replaced the unionized camera operators with non-union personnel to resume filming, bypassing IATSE standards that enforce stricter and hours regulations. This shift to less experienced replacements reduced oversight, as non-union crews lack the union-mandated and protocols for reporting and chain-of-custody procedures, particularly for on-set firearms and handling. The production's decision to proceed without addressing these gaps—despite prior complaints about weapon documented in crew texts—contributed to fragmented supervision on the day of the shooting later that afternoon. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the 24-year-old armorer hired to manage props and weapons, had limited experience as a head armorer, having previously served only as an assistant on the low-budget film where she admitted mishandling blanks and expressed unease about live ammunition protocols. Amid the post-walkout staffing pressures and the film's constrained $1.5 million budget, which prioritized cost-cutting over redundant safety checks, her strained enforcement of verification routines, exacerbating vulnerabilities in ammunition segregation and daily inspections.

The Shooting Incident

Preparations and Setup

On October 21, 2021, actor was rehearsing a scene in a mock church interior set on the production outside , where he practiced drawing a from his holster and aiming it toward the to simulate a action. Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed retrieved firearms and from a locked , selected three guns—including an Italian-made Pietta of a .45-caliber revolver—and placed them on a cart for the , intending to load only inert dummy rounds that contained no or projectiles. However, the ammunition supply included rounds sourced from prior deliveries by a props supplier, which prosecutors later described as containing a mix of dummy rounds and live indistinguishable in appearance, with the live rounds featuring primers, powder, and bullets. Gutierrez-Reed loaded the selected with what she believed to be rounds before handing the guns to David Halls, who then selected one and declared it a "cold gun"—meaning free of live —after a purported visual check, before passing it to Baldwin. This declaration occurred without comprehensive verification protocols, as Halls later admitted in statements that he relied on the armorer's preparation but took responsibility for the oversight.

Sequence of Events

On October 21, 2021, at approximately 1:50 p.m. , during a for a scene inside a wooden structure simulating a church on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set near , first David Halls handed a to after declaring it a "cold gun," meaning it contained no live ammunition. Baldwin, portraying the lead character, then performed actions scripted for the scene: he twirled the on his finger, cocked the , and pointed the barrel in the direction of the camera positioned behind cinematographer and director . Forensic examination by the FBI subsequently determined that the 's design required the trigger to be pulled for the to release and discharge a round, which occurred in this instance, firing a single live .45-caliber . The projectile struck Hutchins in the chest and Souza in the shoulder.

Immediate Aftermath and Medical Response

Following the fatal discharge of the on October 21, 2021, at approximately 1:50 p.m. MDT, crew members immediately called for a as collapsed after being struck in the chest. Director , wounded in the shoulder by the same projectile, was also attended to on-site amid the chaos. Alec , holding the firearm, reacted with visible shock to the unfolding tragedy. Emergency medical services arrived promptly at Bonanza Creek Ranch to provide initial aid, stabilizing Hutchins and Souza before transport. Hutchins, in critical condition, was airlifted by helicopter to the Hospital in Albuquerque, the state's Level 1 , where she was pronounced dead at 5:00 p.m. MDT from her injuries. Souza was transported by ground ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe for treatment of his non-life-threatening wound and was released the following day. Deputies from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene shortly after the incident to secure the area, leading to a of the production set by evening to preserve evidence.

Initial Investigation

On-Site Evidence Collection

Deputies from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office arrived at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set shortly after the October 21, 2021, shooting and established a perimeter to secure the area as an active , preventing unauthorized access and preserving the physical layout. The Colt .45 single-action used in the incident, along with associated prop materials on a nearby cart, was photographed in situ before being collected into evidence custody. A spent .45-caliber cartridge casing, removed from the by armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed immediately following the discharge, was also documented and recovered nearby, though its prior handling by production staff introduced early chain-of-custody vulnerabilities, as non-law enforcement personnel had manipulated key ballistic evidence prior to official seizure. Investigators seized multiple containers from the and storage areas, revealing a disorganized mix of blank cartridges, dummy rounds (distinguished by weight and lack of primer strike capability), and at least six live .45 Long Colt rounds indistinguishable in external appearance from dummies except upon close inspection. These boxes and tubs lacked systematic labeling or segregation protocols, complicating on-site differentiation and raising questions about informal handling practices that may have allowed undetected introduction of live into the . The total haul included roughly 500 rounds, with the live examples bearing headstamps matching non-production sources, though initial field examination could not conclusively trace their on-set provenance without further testing. Preliminary witness statements prioritized gun-handling personnel, including David Halls—who had declared the a "cold gun" moments before the rehearsal—and Gutierrez-Reed, who described loading the weapon with what she believed were dummies. These on-site accounts, captured via deputy notes and video, highlighted discrepancies in inspection routines but were limited initially to avoid contaminating the scene; comprehensive interviews with over 100 crew members expanded later off-site. The unstructured storage and pre-official manipulation of items like the casing underscored broader evidentiary challenges inherent to environment, where props transition fluidly between personnel without formalized logging.

Forensic Analysis of Firearm and Ammunition

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's forensic examination of the replica used in the October 21, 2021, shooting concluded that the firearm was in normal operating condition and required a deliberate trigger pull to discharge when the was fully cocked. FBI firearms examiner Robert Shabazz tested the weapon extensively, finding that it could not fire without the trigger being pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the , contradicting claims of an accidental discharge without intentional actuation. No mechanical defects or failures were identified that would permit the gun to fire solely from inertial forces, such as dropping or jarring the . Analysis of the recovered from the set revealed that the fatal round was a live .45 Long Colt cartridge containing a lead bullet, indistinguishable in external markings from dummy rounds used as props. Investigators traced the live rounds to reloaded provided by a local supplier associated with the 's armorer, which lacked clear differentiation from inert —such as consistent casings and primer stamps—facilitating their inadvertent mixing on set. Some of the live cartridges exhibited on the casings, suggesting prolonged storage or age prior to use. Ballistic reconstruction of the projectile's path, based on autopsy findings and scene measurements, indicated a straight-line trajectory from the revolver's barrel position—held by Alec Baldwin toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins—entering her upper chest and exiting to strike director Joel Souza positioned behind her. The lead bullet's penetration and fragmentation pattern aligned with expectations for a full-power live round fired at close range (approximately 4-6 feet), confirming no deviation from a direct discharge path.

Witness Interviews and Statements

Assistant Director Dave Halls stated to Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office investigators that he handed the revolver to Alec Baldwin after the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, showed him three rounds, but he did not personally verify all chambers, contrary to standard safety protocols requiring full inspection. Halls recalled declaring the gun "cold" — meaning safe with no live ammunition — based on a partial check of the barrel for obstructions rather than a complete examination, and he later acknowledged he should have checked every round but could not recall if the cylinder was spun. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed told investigators in her initial that she had loaded the with dummy rounds earlier that day and checked them before handing it to Halls, insisting no live was introduced by her, though she described challenges distinguishing between dummy and live rounds due to their similar appearance and the production's limited resources for verification. This account conflicted with forensic findings of a live round in the chamber, prompting questions about her loading procedures, as she admitted relying on without or other confirmatory tests typically used on higher-budget sets. Multiple crew members reported to investigators prior warnings about potential live ammunition on set, including complaints to production managers about the weekend before the October 21, 2021, incident, with at least two accidental discharges of blank rounds noted, but these alerts were reportedly not adequately addressed. Camera department members specifically cited unsafe handling of firearms in a letter, highlighting ignored concerns over mixing, though some crew later disputed the severity in a collective statement. Alec Baldwin's initial with authorities shortly after described the as handed to him as safe by Halls, with Baldwin recounting he cocked the and released it during without intentionally pulling the full trigger, though video footage captured him stating variations in the sequence to responding officers. These early descriptions aligned with his cooperation but showed minor inconsistencies in recounting the exact mechanics, later refined in affidavits denying any trigger pull. The Occupational Health and Safety Bureau's investigation incorporated witness statements documenting multiple observed safety violations, including failure to enforce protocols separating live from dummy and inadequate on handling, which witnesses described as rushed and under-resourced, contributing to "plain indifference" per the report. Santa Fe police interviews similarly highlighted crew observations of lax checks, with inconsistencies between personnel accounts underscoring breakdowns in chain-of-custody for props.

Criminal Proceedings Against Armorer

Charges and Indictment of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the film , was indicted on January 31, 2023, by a on two counts of involuntary manslaughter under the state's statutes for negligent use of a deadly weapon and child endangerment, stemming from the October 21, 2021, fatal shooting of cinematographer . The charges alleged that Gutierrez-Reed failed to verify the type of loaded into the handed to actor , neglected industry-standard safety protocols for handling weapons and dummy rounds, and contributed to a pattern of lax practices on set, including leaving loaded firearms unattended. Prosecutors from the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office, led by special prosecutors and Jason Lewis, presented evidence from the ongoing investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, including forensic analysis indicating live had been mixed with dummy rounds, to the grand jury for review. The involuntary manslaughter specifically accused Gutierrez-Reed of introducing live rounds to the production, with investigators citing her responsibility for sourcing and inspecting all , including rounds she personally brought from a previous project or obtained from supplier Seth Kenney, without adequately distinguishing live from dummy marked only by slight differences in casing appearance. Each count carried a potential sentence of up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine, reflecting law's classification of such negligence as a fourth-degree when it results in death. Gutierrez-Reed entered a not guilty plea on February 21, 2023, with her defense arguing that ultimate responsibility for safety lay with the film's producers and that live rounds originated from external suppliers beyond her control. On June 22, 2023, Gutierrez-Reed faced an additional charge of , accused of instructing a crew member to hide or dispose of a small bag of shortly after the shooting to conceal her drug use on set, which witnesses reported included heavy drinking and marijuana consumption during production. Prosecutors contended this act obstructed the investigation into set conditions, including potential impairment affecting her duties, though the charge did not directly relate to the handling. This amendment to the followed further statements gathered during the probe, emphasizing Gutierrez-Reed's alleged efforts to remove incriminating items from her possession amid the chaos following Hutchins' injury. The tampering charge carried a potential three-year prison term if convicted.

Trial Evidence and Arguments

The prosecution, led by special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, argued that Gutierrez-Reed bore primary responsibility for introducing live to the set and failing to implement basic protocols, constituting reckless conduct that created a foreseeable risk of death. Witnesses, including David Halls, testified that Gutierrez-Reed did not perform thorough inspections of rounds before loading the Colt .45 used in the scene, and evidence showed live rounds—distinguishable by their nickel casings—were stored alongside dummy in her prop truck without segregation. Prosecutors highlighted her "sloppy and unprofessional" handling, such as leaving guns unattended on a where cast and crew could access them, and presented text messages where she complained about the production's low budget limiting resources, yet asserted she treated protocols as optional rather than mandatory. To underscore impairment, the prosecution introduced of Gutierrez-Reed's personal marijuana use, including from crew members about her smoking on weekends and the night before shifts, arguing it compromised her vigilance despite her claims of functionality; a pretrial ruling allowed these allegations, rejecting defense motions to exclude them as prejudicial. She was also faulted for not leading or enforcing daily meetings on handling, with witnesses describing a lax culture where she deferred to producers amid schedule pressures. Key exhibits included behind-the-scenes video outtakes showing prior misfires on the .45 days before the fatal shooting—events Gutierrez-Reed attributed to mechanical issues but which prosecutors linked to her improper loading—and forensic analysis confirming the dummy rounds lacked the expected green tips, masking the live rounds' presence. Expert testimony from Hollywood armorer Bryan Carpenter emphasized "red flags" in Gutierrez-Reed's practices, such as handing a to Baldwin without a full visual check and failing to maintain a clear for , standards he deemed non-negotiable in the industry. FBI firearms testing demonstrated the could not fire without trigger pull, countering claims of mechanical failure, and supported the prosecution's narrative that in loading—not malfunction—caused the discharge. The defense, represented by Jason Bowles, countered that Gutierrez-Reed was scapegoated amid a chaotic, under-resourced production plagued by cost-cutting, inadequate training time, and supplier errors from Props Master Seth Kenney, who provided ammunition potentially contaminated with live rounds from prior batches without proper verification. They argued the low-budget Western's rushed schedule overwhelmed her as and props assistant—her first —leaving no margin for comprehensive checks, and presented testimony that live rounds evaded detection because they mimicked dummies in weight and appearance until fired. Defense experts testified that industry protocols were often compromised on independent films like , attributing the incident to systemic failures rather than individual , and highlighted unaddressed prior misfires as evidence of broader equipment issues rather than her sole fault. They challenged the prosecution's impairment claims, noting no on-set drug tests confirmed acute effects and emphasizing her proactive safety efforts, such as warning crew against pointing guns.

Conviction, Sentencing, and Release

On March 6, 2024, a New Mexico jury found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the "Rust" shooting, marking the first conviction in the incident's criminal proceedings. The verdict stemmed from evidence presented at her trial, including failures in firearm safety protocols under her oversight as armorer. Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced on April 15, 2024, to the maximum 18 months in prison for the felony conviction, with the judge ordering her immediate remand into custody due to the severity of the negligence involved. The sentence reflected New Mexico guidelines for involuntary manslaughter, emphasizing her responsibility for live ammunition on set despite industry standards prohibiting it. She served approximately 14 months before her release on parole from a New Mexico women's correctional facility on May 23, 2025, after fulfilling the state's requirement of serving at least 85% of her term. Parole conditions included relocation to her home in , and restrictions such as avoiding contact with Hutchins' family. As of October 2025, her appeal challenging the conviction—citing issues with evidence suppression and —remains pending before higher courts, though it does not affect her release status post-sentence completion.

Criminal Proceedings Against Alec Baldwin

Charges and Grand Jury Indictment

On January 19, 2024, a indicted on a single count of involuntary in connection with the October 21, 2021, fatal shooting of cinematographer during a rehearsal on the set of the film . The charge stemmed from Baldwin's actions as the actor handling the firearm, specifically his voluntary pointing of the at Hutchins and subsequent pulling of the trigger, which prosecutors argued constituted criminally negligent use of a under law. First Judicial Mary Carmack-Altwis pursued a dual-role theory of liability, holding Baldwin accountable both as the performing actor who discharged the weapon and as a lead producer with purported oversight responsibilities for on-set safety protocols. presented to the grand jury included and documents alleging Baldwin's involvement in production decisions that contributed to inadequate safety training and firearms handling procedures, though the core allegation centered on his direct handling of the gun during the incident. This followed an initial charging decision in 2023, which had been challenged procedurally, prompting the convening of the grand jury to review in a closed proceeding. If convicted, Baldwin faced up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine, mirroring the potential penalties in related cases.

Trial Proceedings and Dismissal

The trial commenced on July 9, 2024, with in the First Judicial District Court in . Opening statements followed on July 10, 2024, where prosecutors contended that Baldwin exhibited reckless disregard for safety by repeatedly pulling the trigger of the during a , pointing it at crew members, and failing to confirm the weapon was unloaded, in direct contravention of established handling protocols on film sets. The defense responded that the incident stemmed from profound by the production's weapons specialists and safety personnel, asserting Baldwin—as an performing under the director's instructions—had no duty or expertise to independently verify ammunition types and committed no crime. Witness testimony began immediately after openings, including from David Halls, the film's safety coordinator, who recounted the chaotic set environment and Baldwin's directive to rehearse a draw-and-fire sequence; Halls had earlier declared the gun "cold" before handing it to Baldwin. Proceedings continued on July 11, 2024, with further examination of set protocols and forensic details, but halted abruptly the next day amid a defense motion alleging in evidence handling. The motion centered on prosecutors' nondisclosure of photographs depicting live submitted to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office in March 2024 by local resident Teske, who claimed the rounds matched the batch used on the set and originated from supplier Seth Kenney. This evidence, filed under a separate case number rather than the Rust investigation, included a supplemental police report not shared with Baldwin's defense team despite its potential to demonstrate an external source for the live rounds, thereby undermining the prosecution's narrative that Baldwin should have detected the anomaly. Defense attorneys argued the withholding was deliberate concealment of exculpatory material, discovered independently during preparations. Prosecutors countered that the ammunition differed in appearance from the fatal round, lacked forensic linkage to the set, and held no relevance, claiming they had deemed it a non-viable investigative "rabbit hole" and prioritized the armorer's role. On July 12, 2024, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer granted the motion, ruling the nondisclosure a Brady violation—suppression of favorable, material evidence by the state, which acted with "high culpability" through intentional separation of the records. She deemed the breach irreparably prejudicial, tainting jury exposure and defying cure via instructions or continuance, as it eroded trial fairness at its core; the case was dismissed with prejudice, barring refiling.

Post-Dismissal Developments and Appeals

Following the July 2024 dismissal of involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin due to prosecutors' failure to disclose evidence of live ammunition, special prosecutor Kari Morrissey filed a notice of appeal on November 21, 2024. On December 23, 2024, Morrissey withdrew the appeal after consultation with the New Mexico Attorney General's office, concluding the criminal proceedings without refiling charges. In related proceedings, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, convicted of involuntary in March 2024, filed a motion for a or dismissal in August 2024, arguing the same evidence-withholding issue that prompted Baldwin's case dismissal warranted relief. On September 30, 2024, First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer denied the motion, ruling that prosecutors' nondisclosure of ammunition evidence from a different source did not undermine Gutierrez-Reed's conviction, as her defense had access to related materials during trial and the issue did not rise to a due process violation. Gutierrez-Reed remained incarcerated, serving her 18-month sentence. Baldwin initiated a malicious prosecution countersuit in December 2024 against Morrissey, other prosecutors, and investigators, alleging they pursued charges despite knowing exculpatory evidence of systemic safety lapses on the Rust set. A state judge dismissed the suit in July 2025 for 90 days of inactivity. On October 20, 2025, defendants petitioned to remove the case to U.S. federal court in , where it was transferred, allowing Baldwin's claims of —including withholding evidence and presenting false testimony—to proceed under federal jurisdiction. As of October 25, 2025, the federal case remained pending without a trial date.

Civil Lawsuits and Settlements

Suits by Hutchins Family

In February 2022, Matthew Hutchins, the husband of cinematographer , filed a wrongful death lawsuit in state court on behalf of himself and their son Andros against , as well as Rust producers including Movie Productions, alleging in firearms protocols on set. The complaint specifically cited cost-cutting measures that led to inadequate armorer training, insufficient briefings, and a disregard for industry-standard protocols for handling and live , contributing causally to the October 2021 fatal shooting. The suit was settled confidentially in October 2022, with Baldwin and the producers making no admission of fault or liability as part of the agreement. Terms included provisions for resuming and completing production of , with Andros Hutchins entitled to a share of the film's backend profits to provide ongoing financial support. A district judge formally approved the settlement in June 2023, resolving the claims without further disclosure of monetary amounts. Halyna Hutchins' parents and sister subsequently filed a separate wrongful against Baldwin in February 2023, reiterating allegations of by the actor and producers in maintaining set . This action was also settled on undisclosed terms later that year, with the same judge's approval in June 2023 encompassing related family claims. Elements of the settlements remain tied to 's distribution revenues, prompting ongoing disputes in 2024 over delayed profit distributions owed to Andros Hutchins.

Baldwin's Malicious Prosecution Claim

In January 2025, Alec Baldwin filed a civil lawsuit in New Mexico state court against special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, former First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, and Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office officials, alleging malicious prosecution, civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and defamation stemming from the involuntary manslaughter charges related to the October 2021 Rust shooting. Baldwin's complaint asserted that the defendants pursued charges without probable cause, driven by a desire for publicity and personal vendettas rather than evidence, and engaged in a pattern of misconduct including fabricating and destroying evidence as well as making false public statements portraying him as reckless. The suit specifically accused prosecutors of withholding during the criminal proceedings, such as details about the origin of live ammunition on set and the handling of the replica Colt used in , which had been subjected to destructive FBI testing that impaired further forensic analysis of its firing mechanism. Baldwin claimed this evidence tampering and selective disclosure violated his rights and mirrored issues that led to the July 2024 dismissal of his manslaughter case, where the judge found the state had intentionally withheld rounds matching those that killed . He sought compensatory and , attorney's fees, and injunctive relief to prevent further alleged abuses by the defendants. On July 30, 2025, a state judge dismissed the lawsuit for failure to prosecute, citing over 90 days of inactivity after filing, though Baldwin's team argued administrative delays justified revival. The case was reinstated shortly thereafter, prompting the defendants to petition for removal to U.S. District Court in on October 21, 2025, citing federal questions under civil rights law and . As of October 2025, settlement discussions were underway between Baldwin and the state actors amid the federal transfer, with no resolution reported. In addition to principal civil actions involving the Hutchins family and director , several Rust crew members pursued claims against , the production companies, and related parties, citing from the October 21, 2021, shooting. On June 30, 2025, three crew members—gaffer Ross Addiego, Doran Curtin, and sound mixer Reese Price—settled their 2023 lawsuit out of court, alleging inadequate firearms safety protocols exacerbated their emotional distress. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Earlier claims by other personnel, such as script supervisor Mamie Mishler Luna (filed November 2021) and set medic Cherlyn Schaefer (filed February 2022), similarly alleged production in weapons handling and were resolved via confidential settlements or dismissals, avoiding . These suits emphasized systemic lapses like cost-cutting on safety training but did not attribute direct physical injury beyond the established cases of Hutchins and Souza. As of October 2025, no significant unresolved peripheral civil litigation persists outside of appeals in core proceedings, with most claims consolidated or settled to facilitate production resumption and resolutions.

Film Completion and Release

Resumption of Production

Following the October 2021 fatal shooting, production on entered an extended hiatus, with filming resuming only after a settlement reached with the family of cinematographer on October 5, 2022. Producers announced plans in February 2023 to complete the film in during spring, shifting from the original location amid ongoing investigations and legal proceedings. Principal photography restarted in April 2023 at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana, with the original cast and crew supplemented by additional safety consultants to oversee protocols. Alec Baldwin returned to the set on April 24, 2023, to film his remaining scenes using non-firing replica firearms and rubber bullets in place of any live ammunition or functional props. The production wrapped principal photography on May 16, 2023, under a new cinematographer, Bianca Cline, who incorporated visual effects to integrate footage shot by Hutchins prior to the incident. The resumption faced logistical challenges from the film's pre-existing lack of a completion bond, which exacerbated financial strains from halted operations, limitations capped at $6 million, and multiple civil lawsuits alleging . These factors contributed to delayed restarts and heightened costs for safety enhancements, though Baldwin completed his involvement without compensation to facilitate finalization for the benefit of Hutchins' family.

Distribution and Reception

The completed film Rust had its world premiere at the Camerimage International Film Festival in , , on November 20, 2024, where it received a generally positive response from attendees, who viewed it as a to cinematographer 's visual legacy. Limited theatrical releases followed in select European markets, including on May 1, 2025, and the on May 2, 2025. Commercial was underwhelming, with the film described as a flop shortly after its U.S. debut, generating minimal relative to its production scale and heightened notoriety. Aggregate critic scores reflected divided opinions: reported a 57% approval rating based on 47 reviews, while audience feedback on averaged 5.6/10 from over 3,700 ratings. Reviews often noted technical competence in Hutchins's but critiqued the narrative as uninspired and overshadowed by the real-world . Reception was complicated by public backlash, including boycotts from Hutchins's family—her and sister declined to attend the , accusing producers of profiting from the incident—and criticism from professionals who deemed the festival screening "distasteful." amplified calls to avoid the film, labeling its distribution as insensitive amid ongoing legal fallout. The production received no major awards or nominations. Financial recovery remained partial, constrained by denied film tax incentives worth up to $1.6 million—originally sought to offset settlements—and prosecutorial expenses exceeding $625,000 by April 2024.

Causal Analysis and Debates

Root Causes of the Incident

The introduction of live onto the set of Rust stemmed from an uninspected batch of .45-70 rounds supplied through informal channels, including connections linked to armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's father, , a veteran Hollywood armorer who had previously handled similar for other productions. These rounds, recovered from locations such as boxes, bandoliers, and gun belts, were visually indistinguishable from dummy rounds due to alterations like filed primers that mimicked the inert appearance of props lacking powder or projectiles. Investigators identified at least six such live rounds post-incident, tracing their potential origin to reloads mixed inadvertently during sourcing from prop suppliers like Seth Kenney's PDQ Arm & Prop, though Kenney maintained his provision consisted solely of blanks and dummies. This supplier error initiated the causal chain, as the arrived without segregation or marking to distinguish live from inert variants, exploiting the inherent challenge of visual differentiation in aged or modified brass casings. Compounding the sourcing lapse, on-set protocols failed to incorporate mandatory inspections, such as weighing rounds for powder content or test-firing samples, allowing the mixed batch to circulate unchecked among crew handling props. Gutierrez-Reed, aged 24 and serving as head armorer for the first time on a major production, loaded the revolver without verifying its contents against established dummy specifications, a step omitted despite industry standards requiring armorer oversight for every transfer. New Mexico's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau investigation concluded that production disregarded its own firearms policies, including requirements for armorer presence during rehearsals and cold-gun declarations, enabling the loaded weapon to pass to the actor without secondary confirmation. The absence of these redundancies—rooted in resource constraints and rushed workflows—permitted the undetected live round to remain in circulation, as evidenced by prior incidents on the same set where blanks misfired due to similar oversights. The discharge occurred when the revolver, containing the live round, was handled during an unscripted rehearsal on October 21, 2021, where the actor practiced a scripted draw and pull of the hammer, actions that initiated the firing mechanism absent prior unloading verification. This sequence illustrates a direct causal progression: erroneous ammunition introduction, unmitigated by inspection protocols, culminating in operational use without inert confirmation, rather than any systemic flaw in prop firearms themselves, which are designed to function only with blanks or dummies under rigorous controls. Santa Fe County Sheriff's findings corroborated this chain, noting the rounds' integration into props without traceability, underscoring negligence in basic empirical safeguards like ammunition logging and visual/ tactile differentiation.

Firearms Handling Protocols in Film

In the film industry, real firearms loaded with blanks or inert dummies have historically been employed for visual authenticity, supplemented by strict protocols to mitigate risks such as accidental discharges. Blanks, which contain but no , produce and noise without intended , while dummies use no powder for static shots; both require meticulous handling to prevent fragments or residues from causing injury. From 1990 to 2016, U.S. film sets recorded at least 43 deaths among approximately 250 reported accidents, with firearm-related fatalities remaining exceptionally rare prior to recent scrutiny. A notable exception occurred on March 31, 1993, during production of , when actor was fatally wounded by a .44-caliber prop revolver; a dummy round's primer had lodged in the barrel undetected, and a subsequent blank's discharge propelled the fragment, underscoring failures in barrel and ammunition segregation rather than inherent equipment flaws. Industry standards, codified in safety bulletins and joint labor-management guidelines, mandate the presence of qualified armorers—trained professionals responsible for firearm maintenance, verification, and on-set —to enforce rules like treating all guns as loaded, prohibiting live , and conducting checks before each use. These protocols emphasize armorer oversight, with weapons secured in locked containers when idle and limited to supervised handling. Compliance relies on production adherence, yet low-budget independent films often deviate by consolidating armorer duties with assistant prop roles or curtailing training sessions to cut costs, eroding the separation of responsibilities intended to prevent oversights. Such budgetary constraints have been cited in cases where safety requests, including additional briefings, were denied, prioritizing expediency over redundant verification layers. Post-incident reforms have intensified scrutiny, including California's 2023 legislation requiring certification and formalizing protocols, alongside broader shifts toward (CGI) for gunfire effects to eliminate physical weapons where feasible. Productions have incorporated enhanced pre-use inspections and union-mandated consultations with external experts, though empirical data from historical accidents attributes primary causation to factors—such as distracted checks or procedural lapses—over mechanical defects in blanks or guns. Analysis of on-set incidents reveals that even established safeguards fail predominantly from non-adherence, with no evidence of systemic tool unreliability; for instance, multiple layered errors, like inadequate barrel clearing, consistently precede tragedies rather than isolated equipment malfunctions. Thus, while reforms bolster training access, their efficacy hinges on rigorous enforcement against cost-induced shortcuts, as rarity of events (fewer than one fatality per decade pre-2021) suggests protocols suffice when fully implemented.

Individual Accountability vs. Systemic Factors

, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, sourced and mixed live with dummy rounds on set, loading the without sufficient inspection to distinguish between them, thereby introducing functional bullets into what should have been inert props. David Halls then announced the gun as a "cold gun"—indicating no live rounds—without verifying its contents, before passing it directly to Baldwin. Baldwin subsequently manipulated the weapon by cocking its hammer and pulling the trigger while directing it toward cinematographer , maneuvers that firearms experts and the gun's manufacturer testified were required to fire the round. Proponents of systemic explanations point to the production's $7 million , which constrained hiring of seasoned staff and fostered rushed timelines with extended hours, potentially eroding vigilance in protocol adherence. reports of pre-incident shortcuts, amid a non-union-like environment despite formal certifications, have been cited as enabling such oversights. Yet, operators of comparable low-budget features counter that fiscal pressures alone do not dictate accidents, highlighting successful records in peer productions through consistent individual compliance with established handling rules. The incident's precipitating chain—erroneous and loading, unverified , and operational trigger engagement—prioritizes accountability for these discrete, proximate decisions by set personnel over generalized indictments of budgetary or industrial norms, as the former directly enabled the discharge absent any mechanical malfunction in the .

Public and Industry Reactions

Media Coverage and Public Statements

Media coverage of the October 21, 2021, Rust shooting incident intensified rapidly, with outlets like ABC News and providing timelines of the event, emphasizing the unexpected presence of a live round in a handled by . Initial reporting focused on the immediate aftermath, including the airlift of to a where she was pronounced dead, and the wounding of director . Coverage volume peaked in late October 2021, driven by the rarity of on-set fatalities in modern Hollywood, but later fragmented along ideological lines, with some progressive-leaning media framing it as a systemic safety issue amid debates, while others scrutinized individual protocols on the low-budget production. Alec Baldwin, in his first public comments on October 30, 2021, described Hutchins as "my friend" and expressed devastation over the incident during an encounter with photographers in . In a December 2, 2021, ABC interview with , Baldwin denied responsibility, stating, "Someone is responsible... but I know it's not me," and claimed he did not pull the trigger, asserting he was assured the was safe. Baldwin later accused media outlets of biased coverage that prioritized damaging narratives over factual investigation, vowing in December 2024 to "expose what really happened." The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), Hutchins' union, issued a statement on October 22, 2021, mourning her as a "" and confirming the shooting involved "a live single round," while organizing vigils attended by hundreds of members to honor her contributions to . Hutchins' family, through representatives, emphasized accountability in statements, with her parents and sister expressing satisfaction in 2024 over convictions related to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and stating, "everyone who is responsible for Halyna's death [must] be held accountable." In May 2025, they urged viewers to see the completed film to remember Hutchins for her talent rather than the tragedy, though they criticized Baldwin in November 2024 for failing to apologize personally and in March 2025 for pursuing unrelated projects amid ongoing litigation. New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced charges against Baldwin on January 19, 2023, asserting in filings that he "pulled the trigger" on the revolver and committed safety violations as both actor and producer, though the case was later dismissed in July 2024 and an appeal dropped in December 2024.

Industry Safety Reforms and Criticisms

Following the October 21, 2021, shooting on the set of , the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and issued joint safety bulletins emphasizing the need for qualified armorers to oversee all handling, enhanced protocols, and the designation of a dedicated safety supervisor on sets using weapons. These recommendations built on existing guidelines but urged stricter enforcement, including pre-loading inspections and prohibiting unsupervised access to loaded props. In response, some productions, such as Netflix's and Showtime's Billions, banned functional prop guns altogether, opting for non-firing replicas or visual effects simulations—often termed "virtual bullets"—to replicate gunfire without physical ammunition. Implementation of these reforms has been inconsistent across the industry. California lawmakers advanced bills like AB 2316 to codify mandatory safety training and armorer oversight, but they stalled in 2022 amid disagreements between studios and unions over costs and scope. Larger studios have adopted enhanced checks, such as triple-verified ammo sourcing and on-site safety officers, leading to reported reductions in armorer workloads as real firearms are phased out in favor of CGI alternatives. Independent films, however, face disproportionate burdens; hiring a full-time armorer can add tens of thousands to budgets already strained by low financing, prompting critics to argue that such mandates exacerbate inequities for non-union or low-budget projects without addressing root negligence. Critics contend these reforms represent an overreaction to an isolated case of protocol failure rather than a systemic flaw, noting that on-set fatalities were exceedingly rare prior to , with only three documented deaths in Hollywood history—the last being in 1993—amid thousands of safe uses annually. The incident stemmed from live ammunition being introduced and mishandled in violation of established rules requiring armorers to control all weapons, suggesting performative gestures like blanket gun bans overlook that blanks and dummies had been safely managed for decades when protocols were followed. While reforms have heightened awareness and prompted voluntary stricter inspections on some sets, skeptics highlight stalled legislation and uneven adoption as evidence of symbolic rather than substantive change, potentially stifling authentic without proportional risk reduction. The dismissal of involuntary manslaughter charges against on July 12, 2024, by District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer established a stark example of prosecutorial in high-profile cases, stemming from "egregious discovery violations" where state investigators withheld evidence regarding ammunition supplied by a confidential , violating defendants' rights under precedents. The ruling, issued with prejudice barring retrial, prompted an appeal by special prosecutor Kari Morrissey that was withdrawn on December 23, 2024, after the judge criticized ongoing "misconduct and false testimony" in related proceedings. This outcome underscores the perils of aggressive pursuit in celebrity-linked prosecutions, where incomplete disclosures can irreparably undermine cases, potentially deterring overzealous charges but reinforcing the need for rigorous evidence handling to maintain in the justice system. Culturally, the incident eroded the longstanding assumption that firearms—often functional replicas—are inherently benign on sets, revealing how lax protocols can lead to lethal outcomes despite their rarity in over a century of film history. While some productions shifted toward rubber guns or CGI for authenticity trade-offs, industry analyses emphasized enhanced training and oversight over outright bans on blanks or replicas, arguing that verified and universal "treat as loaded" rules suffice for safety when enforced. The event thus prioritized causal accountability—rooted in individual verification failures—over narratives portraying set accidents as inevitable, prompting safety bulletins but resisting broader disarmament that could compromise realistic depictions without addressing negligence at source. The shooting amplified recognition of personal responsibility in wielding any , as basic handling principles demand skepticism toward assurances of inertness, irrespective of delegated roles like armorers'. Media portrayals, however, frequently centered Baldwin's emotional distress and denials of —such as his assertion in a December 2021 interview that "the trigger wasn't pulled," contradicted by forensic evidence—often framing the tragedy as a collective lapse rather than scrutinizing the actor's direct actions in pointing and discharging the weapon. This selective emphasis, evident in sympathetic profiles and delayed focus on the armorer's subsequent conviction for the same lapses, reflects a pattern of leniency toward high-profile figures, potentially skewing public discourse away from unvarnished causal analysis toward diffused blame.
