These are civil suits. Criminal charges against the killer are still pending.
Alec Baldwin, armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and assistant director Dave Halls have been named in a lawsuit stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust."
Hutchins was fatally shot, and director Joel Souza was wounded when a gun that was held by Baldwin to rehearse a scene fired, discharging a live round. Much speculation has been made in the weeks since the incident about the safety procedures that were in place to prevent such a tragedy, with speculative blame and the police investigation focusing on Gutierrez Reed and Halls, who handled the gun prior to the incident and were tasked with checking it to prevent the exact incident.
According to documents obtained by Fox News, Serge Svetnoy, the key gaffer on the indie-western film, filed a lawsuit against the trio and others claiming the defendants' alleged negligence has caused him severe emotional distress.
