"A lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges that Alec Baldwin recklessly fired a gun when it wasn’t called for in the script when he shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the New Mexico set of the film “Rust.”
“There was nothing in the script about the gun being discharged by DEFENDANT BALDWIN or by any other person,” the lawsuit from script supervisor Mamie Mitchell says.
The lawsuit is the second to stem from the shooting, with many more expected.
Like last week’s from head of lighting Serge Svetnoy, it was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and names many defendants including Baldwin, who was both star and a producer; David Halls, the assistant director who handed Baldwin the gun; and Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who was in charge of weapons on the set.'

If he was negligent, he should be held accountable. I don't think there will be criminal charges. In the Brandon Lee shooting they didn't come up with criminal charges and it had to be done in civil court. I think in that one the DA said the production company was negligent but can't remember why they didn't file charges.
If there was nothing that called for him to fire the gun, then that's all on him. Why the AD or whoever handed him the gun without checking it was equally negligent.

Oh man, it that's true, he's in a heap of trouble. He was just playing with the gun. Like you said, in the Brandon Lee case, they were rehearsing or possibly even shooting the scene. Why would have anyone even have handed Baldwin the guy if they were not at least rehearsing the scene? Something don't add up.
