American actor Alec Baldwin has been accused again of involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting that occurred on a filming set in 2021, the prosecutor’s office reported this Friday.
Baldwin, 65, had already faced a legal battle for the death of their director of photography, who died while they were filming scenes for their film ‘Rust’ in the state of New Mexico.

Baldwin, actor and producer of the cowboy film, was brandishing a Colt .45 weapon during rehearsals on October 21, 2021 when a shot that killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.
