Alec Baldwin, Rust Workers Sued by Halyna Hutchins’ Family

Convicted Rust Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Says She Wants Alec Baldwin Put “in Jail”

Alec Baldwin is one of many facing a new lawsuit in connection to the 2021 fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The 30 Rock alum, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and more involved in the production of the Western film have been accused of negligence in a civil suit filed by Hutchins’ family in New Mexico June 5.

In court documents obtained by E! News, Hutchins’ mom Olga Solovey, father Anatolii Androsovych, sister Svetlana Zemko and Rust script supervisor Mamie Mitchell alleged the unsafe conditions on set and a failure to follow protocol led to a prop gun discharging from Baldwin’s hand, resulting in Hutchins’ death.

“Defendant Baldwin chose to play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun without checking it and without having the armorer do so,” the lawsuit read. “His behavior and that of the producers of Rust were intentional and/or negligent acts and/or omissions, without any just or excuse and with utter disregard of consequences of said acts and/or omissions.”
