Authorities in New Mexico have revived manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin over an on-set shooting with a prop gun that killed a cinematographer.

In a grand jury indictment released Friday, prosecutors revealed that Baldwin has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins — one with negligent use of a firearm, the other without due caution or circumspection.

Hutchins was killed on Oct. 21, 2021, when a gun held by Baldwin at the time fired a real bullet during a rehearsal. Director Joel Souza was wounded by the same bullet.
