Among other things, it seeks a share of any damages that Mitchell may win from the people Baldwin names and asks that they pay for any damages assessed against him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Mitchell was standing behind Hutchins, who died shortly after being wounded during setup for a scene in the western movie <em>Rust<\/em> at a film set ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe on Oct. 21, 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Mitchell sued Baldwin, who was a producer on the film, the production company and many others involved for assault and negligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In his cross-complaint, Baldwin says that while working on camera angles with Hutchins during rehearsal for a scene, he pointed the gun in her direction and pulled back and released the hammer of the gun, which discharged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The shot fatally wounded Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza in the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The actor said neither he nor Hutchins knew the weapon contained a live round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThis tragedy occurred on a movie set \u2014 not a gun range, not a battlefield, not a location where even a remote possibility should exist that a gun would contain live ammunition,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Baldwin has maintained he was told the gun was safe and that he did not pull the trigger. But a recent FBI forensic report found the weapon could not have fired unless the trigger was pulled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cMore than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy. By these cross-claims, Baldwin seeks to clear his name,\u201d the actor\u2019s lawsuit says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Baldwin\u2019s cross-complaint says he has lost opportunities and been fired from jobs because of the shooting and also \u201chas suffered physically and emotionally from the grief caused by these events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    New Mexico\u2019s Office of the Medical Investigator determined the shooting was an accident. However, prosecutors are reviewing the shooting to determine whether criminal charges should be filed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In April, New Mexico\u2019s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau imposed the maximum fine of $137,000 against Rust Movie Productions and distributed a scathing narrative of safety failures, including testimony that production managers took limited or no action to address two misfires of blank ammunition on set prior to the fatal shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The company is challenging the fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Baldwin\u2019s lawsuit alleges negligence by armorer Hannah Guttierez-Reed; prop master Sarah Zachry; first assistant director and safety coordinator David Halls, who handed Baldwin the gun; ammunition supplier Seth Kenney and his company, PDQ Arm &amp; Prop, which also supplied prop weapons for the production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    All have previously denied responsibility for the fatal shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In October, Hutchins\u2019 family announced they had agreed to settle another lawsuit against the actor and the movie\u2019s producers, and producers said they aimed to restart the project in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    A lawyer for Gutierrez-Reed, Jason Bowles, said he was reviewing Baldwin\u2019s lawsuit.
