<p>The case surrounding Alec Baldwin's tragic shooting incident, where a cinematographer called Halyna Hutchins lost her life during a rehearsal in New Mexico over a year and a half ago, remains shrouded in mystery. Despite their latest court filing suggesting that weapons expert Hannah Gutierrez-Reed may be responsible for introducing the live rounds, prosecutors have yet to provide substantial evidence. In an attempt to build their case, the Associated Press reported, they are now arguing that an evening of indulgence in alcohol and marijuana impaired Gutierrez-Reed's judgment, potentially compromising set safety. However, Gutierrez-Reed's legal team contends that prosecutors are resorting to character assassination, while skeptical legal experts question the viability of such a strategy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On October 21, 2021, a bullet fired by Baldwin on the Bonanza City, New Mexico near Santa Fe set of the movie hit Hutchins and writer-director Joel Souza. The gun was a prop and Baldwin was told it was "cold" (without ammunition). While Souza survived his injuries, Hutchins did not.</p>

Alec Baldwin shooting case: Prosecutors struggle to solve the mystery of live rounds

<p>More and more celebrities are reacting to the recent Alec Baldwin shooting incident on the sets of 'Rust'. After Dwayne Johnson, Angelina Jolie now has commented&nbsp;on the incident that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The 'Eternals' actor has worked with guns on many different movies, including the 'Tomb Raider' franchise as well as 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She's also directed a few movies that have required firearms on set. As a result, she is familiar with the safety precautions that are in place and can empathize with a cast and crew who learned the hard way that sometimes those aren't enough.</p>

"I can't imagine what these families are going through. At this moment, the grief and the tragedy of that accident are quite overwhelming," Jolie told a news outlet in a recent interview.</p>

<br />
She added, "I've always been very careful because I've had to work with guns a lot. The way I've worked or checked when I'm directing, there are certain procedures. You have to take it very seriously."<br />
<br />
Jolie, however, stopped short of joining many in show business who have pledged that they will no longer work with real firearms on the sets of movies or TV shows.<br />
<br />
Many have said, like ABC's 'The Rookie', that they will work only with fake or rubber guns and let things like muzzle flare and sounds be added in VFX later.<br />
<br />
Her statements came around the same time as stars like Dwayne Johnson are making full-on pledges to change the way they operate.&nbsp;<br />

Johnson has stated that he will not work with guns on the sets and not allow the usage of real guns on the sets of any of his productions.&nbsp;</p>

"I can't speak for anyone else, but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie that we have moving forward with Seven Bucks Productions, any movie, any television show, or anything we do or produce, we won`t use real guns at all," he pledged on behalf of himself and his production company.

Angelina Jolie on Alec Baldwin 'Rust' shooting incident: The grief is overwhelming

<p>Several Hollywood stars have come out in support of Alec&nbsp;Baldwin following the tragic on-set shooting that took place last week and left one dead and another injured.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor was rehearsing a scene for his upcoming film 'Rust' in New Mexico when he accidentally discharged a firearm that he was told was unloaded- as per the affidavit submitted in the court.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The projectile struck director of photography Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza. While Souza was injured, Hutchins died from her injuries.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Baldwin, who has seen then been inconsolable, has met up with Hutchins husband and son. Several of his colleagues and friends from Hollywood extended their support to the actor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Alec, you are a dear, kind man who wouldn't hurt anyone purposefully. I know you will never get over this but please try to remember it was a horrifying accident, a catastrophic tragedy that was not your fault. I'm so terribly sorry for all of you," wrote Nancy Sinatra to Baldwin on Twitter.&nbsp;</p>

Several Hollywood stars have come out in support of Alec Baldwin following the tragic on-set shooting that took place last week and left one dead and another injured. The actor was rehearsing a scene for his upcoming film 'Rust' in New Mexico when he accidentally discharged a firearm that he was told was unloaded- as per the affidavit submitted in the court. The projectile struck director of photography Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza. While Souza was injured, Hutchins died from her injuries. Baldwin, who has seen then been inconsolable, has met up with Hutchins husband and son. Several of his colleagues and friends from Hollywood extended their support to the actor. "Alec, you are a dear, kind man who wouldn't hurt anyone purposefully. I know you will never get over this but please try to remember it was a horrifying accident, a catastrophic tragedy that was not your fault. I'm so terribly sorry for all of you," wrote Nancy Sinatra to Baldwin on Twitter. Alec, you are a dear, kind man who wouldn't hurt anyone purposefully.
