BREAKING: Actor Alec Baldwin and a weapons specialist have been formally charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico movie set, according to court documents filed by prosecutors Tuesday.

Gutierrez-Reed’s attorney said they would release a statement later.

Prosecutors have said that Baldwin’s involvement as a producer and as the person who fired the gun weighed in the decision to file charges. Involuntary manslaughter can involve a killing that happens while a defendant is doing something lawful but dangerous and is acting negligently or without caution. Special prosecutor Andrea Reeb has cited a pattern of “criminal disregard for safety” on the set of “Rust.”

Baldwin, also a co-producer on “Rust,” has described the killing as a tragic accident. The 64-year-old actor said he was told the gun was safe and has sought to clear his name by suing people involved in handling and supplying the loaded .45-caliber revolver.

Tough case to prove. Looks a bit like being seen as doing what they can, knowing he'll be cleared and uncaring of the torment it causes.

Who has live ammo on a movie set?

About time.

Bet that wiped the smile off that smug SOB

His movies truly are either “hit or miss” 😬

Watch how the legal fees mount

He'd be innocent if he drove across state lines with an AR15 and shot at left wing protesters, instead of using a prop gun handed to him by a prop master.

'producer' baldwin..he was responsible for what happened on set

Feels more like a right wing prosecutor trying to make a name for himself by 'hanging' a outspoken liberal actor.

I’m sure Baldwin never intended to shoot anyone. But regardless, he pulled the trigger & he is responsible for her death. It’s that simple

I think it’s because of the state that the movie was shot in.

So my understanding is they charged Alec Baldwin and they charged the person responsible for handling the guns. Do they now think this is some sort of conspiracy?

Poetic justice. Obnoxious anti-gun idiot shot that woman, lied about it, and NOBODY deserves severe punishment for that crime more than Alec Baldwin. Its time for him to be dragged down off his elitist left throne.

Alec Baldwin is going to sue for millions claiming psychological distress caused by negligent set management.

“Breaking” bad actor and a “Definitely not a weapons specialist”charged today for massive work failures.

Good.

'formally' is redundant as there's no such thing as being informally charged.

😮‍💨 Unbelievable and wrong on so many levels.
