While last week’s fatal shooting on the “Rust” film set was quickly called a tragic accident, attorneys say an involuntary manslaughter charge could be on the table for the film company, prop manager, and producer — meaning Alec Baldwin may still be in jeopardy.

Santa Fe County district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies told The New York Times that she isn’t ruling out pursuing criminal charges after a cinematographer was killed and a director was wounded on the New Mexico set of the indie Western last week.
