Alec Baldwin was on the phone during firearms training for a movie where he fatally shot a cinematographer on set, prosecutors said, as they charged him with involuntary manslaughter. Santa Fe’s District Attorney’s Office accused the actor of “many instances of extremely reckless acts”. The film’s armourer has also been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Lawyers for Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed have said they intend to fight the charges in court.
If found guilty, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed could face up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 (£4,050) fine.
