The family of slain cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Tuesday filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Alec Baldwin stemming from her shooting death on the set of his low-budget Western Rust. 

Baldwin was holding a revolver on set in New Mexico during rehearsal when it fired on October 21, 2021, killing Hutchins. 

He has maintained that it was Hutchins herself who asked him to point the gun just off camera and toward her armpit before it went off. Director Joel Souza also was wounded in the shooting on the Bonanza Creek Ranch film set near Santa Fe.

Attorney Brian Panish, representing Hutchins’ husband, Matthew Hutchins, held a press conference to announce the lawsuit again Baldwin and ‘others who are responsible for the safety on set, and whose reckless behavior and cost-cutting led to the senseless, tragic death of Halyna Hutchins,’ he said.

According to Panish, his firm has conducted an investigation that he said uncovered ‘numerous violations of industry standards’ by Baldwin and the other defendants named in the complaint that was filed in New Mexico on Tuesday.

Baldwin has said that at Hutchins’ direction he pulled the hammer back and that it fired when he let go. He has said he didn’t know the gun contained a live round.

Investigators have described “some complacency” in how weapons were handled on the set of the Western “Rust.” They have yet to file any charges and have been working to determine where the live rounds found on set might have come from.
