According to his own statements, Hollywood star Alec Baldwin (64) does not expect that the fatal shot at a camerawoman during a film shoot about ten months ago will have criminal consequences for him or others.
“I sincerely believe … (investigators) will say that this was an accident. It’s tragic,” he told CNN in an interview published on Saturday.

The fatal incident occurred in October 2021 while filming the low-budget western “Rust” at a film ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Camerawoman Halyna Hutchins was killed in the process. Director Joel Souza was hit in the shoulder.
