Alec Baldwin was spotted in public for the first time since he was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting on the Rust set in 2021.
Baldwin, 64, was photographed heading out of his Manhattan apartment on Friday morning. He has been charged Thursday with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' death on the set of his film Rust.
The 30 Rock actor looked distressed as he rushed to a black vehicle. In the pictures obtained by the Daily Mail, he was seen covering his face with envelops as he headed into a midtown Manhattan office building.
Baldwin was spotted wearing a black jacket and black pants as he ignored paparazzi waiting for him outside the building.
The Edge actor made a quick escape as his wife Hilaria Baldwin spoke to the media gathered outside their home. She was seen wearing a green sweatshirt, with the word "Empathy" on it.
Actor Alec Baldwin faces criminal charges in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust." Baldwin was the film's lead actor and a producer. He was holding the prop gun that went off during a rehearsal.
The bullet killed Hutchins and wounded the director, and the production's armorer was also charged today. NPR's Mandalit del Barco has been following this story since last year when all of this happened.
Alec Baldwin and the set's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed each face two counts of involuntary manslaughter. Those are both four - fourth degree felonies. The first one is punishable by up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. And the second, because a firearm element was added, carries a mandatory five-year sentence.
Yeah. So authorities have investigated the shooting, trying to figure out who's responsible for what happened during a rehearsal of a scene on a ranch outside of Santa Fe. And in a statement today, the New Mexico district attorney's office said the evidence showed a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the film set. By the end of this month, the charges will be officially filed.
