A judge is set to make a decision on actor Alec Baldwin's request to avoid a trial related to the fatal shooting incident on the set of the film 'Rust'. Baldwin, who was both a producer and star of the movie, is seeking to prevent the case from going to trial.
The shooting incident occurred in October 2021 when a prop gun discharged, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Baldwin was holding the gun during a rehearsal when the tragic incident took place.
