2021 shooting incident

On October 21, 2021, Baldwin was filming on the set of Western movie Rust at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, when he fired a gun used as a prop, accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding movie director Joel Souza.[3][4][5][6] As to the scene, he was expected to fire the gun, which should have contained blanks. According to court records, Baldwin had been told the gun was safe to use.[7]

On January 19, 2023, Santa Fe's district attorney said that Baldwin would be charged with involuntary manslaughter;[8] The charges would filed at the end of January.[9]

In April 2023, the charges against Baldwin were dropped.[10]
