He will also file charges against the gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, in charge of supervising the weapons used in the filming. For her part, the film’s first assistant director, Dave Halls, has agreed to plead guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon. Halls handed Baldwin, star and producer, the gun that eventually went off.
The events occurred on October 21, 2021 during a rehearsal on the filming set of Rust and, since then, several lawsuits have been filed, including by members of the team accusing the production of not complying with security protocols. Baldwin himself, who claims not to be responsible for what happened, sued the gunsmith and several members of the team for negligence.
