Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin was unable to control his emotions on the set of his ill-fated Western film “Rust” before he shot two people — killing one of them — in 2021 in the New Mexico desert, prosecutors alleged.
According to CBS News, the upcoming manslaughter trial will likely focus, at least partially, on the actor’s mental state during the film’s production.
Baldwin was handling a loaded handgun on the set of the film in October 2021 when it discharged.
The film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was convicted last month of involuntary manslaughter and faces up to 18 months behind bars during her sentencing hearing on April 15.
She loaded a .45 caliber handgun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins at the age of 42.
“Rust” director Joel Souza was also wounded in the Shooting
