The film’s armorer overseeing weapons, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, will also be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the incident, according to a statement from Santa Fe-area District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies.
During preparations for a scene, Mr. Baldwin discharged a live round from a revolver, killing 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins.
In New Mexico, involuntary manslaughter is a fourth-degree felony that carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison.

Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Gutierrez-Reed will each be charged with two different counts of involuntary manslaughter, the district attorney’s office said.
The second charge, involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act, includes a firearms enhancement which carries a mandatory five-year prison term.
In response, a lawyer for Ms. Gutierrez-Reed said Mr. Baldwin “is the only one responsible for this tragedy.” »
