Alec Baldwin is unlikely to escape prosecution for a fatal accident – SME.sk

THE ANGELES. The prosecution of the American actor Alec Baldwin, who shot the cameraman and injured the director while shooting his latest film, is not excluded at this time. The prosecutor was quoted as saying on Wednesday by the AFP agency.

“Obviously (Baldwin) is the person who fired the gun,” prosecutor Mary Carmack-Altwies said on Wednesday. “At the moment, all options are on the table,” she added.

The tragedy occurred on Thursday last week in the US state of New Mexico in the filming of a western called Rust, in which Baldwin plays the lead role.

Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza “were shot when Alec Baldwin fired a gun,” said the Santa Fe County Sheriff. The weapon served as a prop.

The shot 42-year-old cameraman with Ukrainian roots was taken by helicopter to the hospital, where she eventually succumbed to her injuries. The director was transported by ambulance to another hospital with injuries. He was later released.
