Fatal shooting on the film “Rust”: actor Alec Baldwin “blatantly lied”, prosecutors denounce. FBI expertise concluded that the gun held by the actor could not have fired without pulling the trigger.
Alec Baldwin had pointed a weapon supposed to contain only blank bullets, but a very real projectile had killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. The film's gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was found guilty of manslaughter in early March. His sentence is due to be pronounced on Monday.
