Actor Alec Baldwin sued the armorer, weapons supplier, first assistant director and prop master from the movie “Rust” for negligence after he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The actor made the filing Friday as a cross complaint in the ongoing case of script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who is suing Baldwin for assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence in connection with the death of Hutchins on the set of the New Mexico western last October.
Baldwin and his attorney pulled from text messages, FBI analysis and other parts of the investigation into the shooting to claim that the crew members and supplier were negligent in their use of the weapons and ammunition and put the actor at risk.
