Actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that contained a live shot. The bullet hit the cinematographer's chest as well as the director's shoulder.

The police have questioned several people, including Baldwin, who is cooperating with the investigation. The producers of "Rust" are sentenced to the highest possible fine for serious safety violations on set. The film's firearms officer filed a lawsuit against the ammunition supplier, saying that boxes of cartridges were mislabeled. The family of Halyna Hutchins is now suing Alec Baldwin and the film's producers for the death.
