Criminal charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin over a fatal on-set shooting in October 2021.

Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the incident during the filming of Rust in New Mexico.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed by a live bullet fired from a prop gun that was being used by Baldwin.

A statement released by New Mexico special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis said that "over the last few days... new facts were revealed" in the case, requiring further investigation.

The actor denied pulling the trigger, although an FBI report later concluded that the gun could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.

The film's armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is also facing two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

The statement from the special prosecutors says the charges against her remain unchanged.
