The family of a cinematographer shot and killed on the set of the film Rust sued Alec Baldwin and the movie’s producers on Tuesday alleging their “callous” disregard in the face of safety complaints led directly to her death.
At a news conference announcing the lawsuit, lawyers for the husband and 9-year-old son of Halyna Hutchins said that Baldwin refused training for the type of “cross-draw” he was performing when he fired the shot that killed her.
Baldwin’s lawyer responded that any claim the actor was reckless is “entirely false.”
