Alec Baldwin wants to clear his name in Rust shooting

Actor Alec Baldwin is suing those involved in the gun incident that occurred during filming, which led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

In his cross-complaint, Baldwin alleges negligence against some of the people sued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell. This includes asking for 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.

News of the lawsuit comes as authorities are still investigating the exact circumstances that led to the tragic accident.

Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, has said it is cooperating fully with investigators.

The shot fatally wounded Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza in the shoulder.

Baldwin said neither he nor Hutchins knew the weapon contained a live round.
