Shortly after the shooting, Alec made a statement about her death. The transcript of what happened in the moments after the shooting were also revealed a short time later.

The Santa Fe County DA, Mary Carmack-Altwies, has revealed that armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and Alec will both be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and has released a statement about her findings.

“After a thorough review of the evidence and the laws of the state of New Mexico, I have determined that there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the ‘Rust’ film crew,” Carmack-Altwies said in a statement (via NBC). “On my watch, no one is above the law, and everyone deserves justice.”

Assistant director David Halls has also allegedly accepted the terms of a plea deal to plead guilty to a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. 

Halyna is survived by her husband Matthew and their nine-year-old son, Aldous. RIP.
