Gloria Allred, one of the family’s attorneys, stated that her clients “seek to hold lead actor and producer Alec Baldwin, along with other producers and individuals, liable for Halyna’s untimely and tragic death.”
Hutchins was killed in October 2021 during a dress rehearsal for the Western. Baldwin, who faces a criminal charge stemming from her death, was holding a revolver that discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
The new complaint repeats many previous allegations, asserting that Baldwin, Gutierrez-Reed, and other defendants were aware of the dangerous conditions on set. Prior “unexpected gun discharges” had been reported days before the incident, and union camera operators and their assistants had walked off the set just hours before Hutchins was killed, the complaint states.
Mitchell, who was standing close to Hutchins during the incident, claims Baldwin cocked and fired the loaded gun “without just cause or excuse.”
“The upcoming scene to be filmed did not call for the cocking and firing of a firearm,” the complaint states.
