Halyna Hutchins's Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Alec Baldwin, "Rust" Producers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has filed a wrongful death
lawsuit against actor and producer Alec Baldwin and others for the fatal
shooting of Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust" last October. The
lawsuit also names the film's other producers, citing "reckless behavior
and cost-cutting," which led to Baldwin firing a live round during
rehearsals, resulting in Hutchins's death.
