Santa Fe prosecutor FINALLY receives sheriff's report one year after Alec Baldwin accidentally shot dead Rust cinematographer on set

The Santa Fe prosecutor tasked with bringing charges in the fatal on-set shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has received the sheriff’s report and is now preparing to make a decision on who should face prosecution.

Actor Alec Baldwin was holding the gun when it fired towards Hutchins last October 21. He insists he did not pull the trigger.

For a year, police have been investigating the incident at painstaking pace. Now, they have handed over their final report to DA Mary Carmack-Altwies.

In a statement this afternoon, her office said: ‘The District Attorney and her team of investigators and prosecutors will now begin a thorough review of the information and evidence to make a thoughtful, timely decision about whether to bring charges.
