Alec Baldwin's Rust set shooting case dismissed, star's lawyers reveal

The case against Alec Baldwin over the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has been dismissed, his lawyers said.

The Hollywood actor's lawyers said they were "pleased" with the decision and encouraged a proper investigation into the "tragic incident". Baldwin had faced two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the shooting on the set of the Rust movie in October 2021.

The incident occurred after a prop gun held by Baldwin went off, killing Ms Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. The actor previously pleaded not guilty to both charges of involuntary manslaughter.
