Actor and producer Alec Baldwin has been criminally charged in connection with the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of the movie “Rust,” the Santa Fe County, New Mexico, district attorney’s office told CNN Tuesday.

The charges against Baldwin and the set’s armorer, Hannah Guiterrez Reed, include two counts of involuntary manslaughter, the DA’s office said. Attorneys for both defendants previously insisted their respective clients are innocent.

[There’s been plenty of analysis already on these charges, starting from the time of the shooting all the way to when the DA first announced the intent to proceed to prosecution for the death of Halyna Hutchins. This is no surprise, but it still remains to be seen whether a judge will green-light this for trial. Expect Baldwin’s attorneys to take an aggressive strategy in pretrial hearings to argue for a dismissal. — Ed]
