Baldwin and "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will both be accused of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the on-set killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said Thursday.
Both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed have denied wrongdoing and vowed to fight the charges.
Baldwin has maintained he didn't fire the shot that killed Hutchins on Oct. 21, 2021, on the New Mexico set of the western movie.
But prosecutors insist they have FBI lab reports that show Baldwin did fire the fatal round.
