Alec Baldwin Sued After Shooting

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Ukrainian relatives of a slain cinematographer are seeking damages in her death from actor Alec Baldwin in connection with a fatal shooting on the set of a Western movie. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during a rehearsal for the movie “Rust” in October 2021 in New Mexico. Baldwin was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. The new lawsuit seeks unspecified damages based on support that Hutchins previously provided to a younger sister and parents. An attorney for Baldwin had no immediate comment.
