Alec Baldwin Was Reckless With Guns Before ‘Rust’ Shooting, Prosecutors Allege

Prosecutors intend to argue at Alec Baldwin's trial next month that he was reckless with firearms before the fatal shooting.

Prosecutors in the Alec Baldwin trial intend to argue that the actor displayed a pattern of recklessness with firearms on the set of “ Rust ” before the fatal shooting of the film’s cinematographer. Much of that evidence was made public during the trial in February of Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the “Rust” armorer who loaded a live bullet into Baldwin’s gun, and who is now serving an 18-month sentence. In an earlier filing, Morrissey referenced a “long history” of aggressive behavior on Baldwin’s part going back to 2007, including punching a man in a fight over a parking space and allegedly assaulting a photographer.
