Actor Alec Baldwin is facing formal charges in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred on the set of his latest movie.

Baldwin, who was serving as an armorer on the set of the movie “Rust”, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a crew member.

The charges come after months of investigation by authorities, who determined that Baldwin was responsible for the shooting.

According to reports, Baldwin was in charge of the gun safety on the set and failed to properly secure the weapon, which resulted in the fatal shooting.

In response to the charges, actor Mickey Rourke has slammed the decision, calling it “bulls—“.

Baldwin is expected to be formally charged in the coming days, and the case is likely to be closely watched by the entertainment industry.
