Legal worries mount for Alec Baldwin & crew after shooting accident on set

Actor Alec Baldwin who pulled the trigger on a prop gun while filming 'Rust' in New Mexico, and accidentally killed a cinematographer and injured a director on set, may soon have legal bills to settle.

Though Baldwin is unlikely to be held criminally or civilly liable for the tragedy, but along with the film's producers, he may have to firefight the legal ramifications of the tragedy.

Experts predict a tremendous legal fallout from the accident, definitely in civil lawsuits and potentially in criminal charges.

From executive producers to assistant director Dave Halls and armorer Hannah Gutierrez, all could face some sort of liability even if they weren’t on location on the day of the mishap.

The payouts which could be covered in part by insurance held by the production company, Rust Movie Productions — would likely be in the 'millions and millions' of dollars.

Baldwin, who is known for roles in films like '30 Rock' and 'The Hunt for Red October' and his impression of former President Donald Trump on 'Saturday Night Live', has called the killing a 'tragic accident'.
