Key Facts
The actor’s lawyers told NBC and ABC they 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.”
Baldwin, who was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after shooting Hutchins, previously pleaded not guilty and claimed he did not pull the gun’s trigger.
It’s unclear whether charges against the movie’s armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were also dropped.
Spokespeople for Baldwin and the New Mexico District Attorney did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.
