Circle tomorrow morning at 11am Eastern time. That’s when the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies will announce her decision whether to press charges in the 2021 Santa Fe County film-set shooting that killed cinematographer Halayna Hutchins on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie “Rust.” .

The DA’s office says there will be no news conference or public appearances by the District Attorney or the special prosecutor.

“Regardless of the District Attorney’s decision, the announcement will be a solemn occasion, made in a manner keeping with the office’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the judicial process and respecting the victim’s family,” said Heather Brewer, spokesperson for the office of the First Judicial District Attorney.

Baldwin discharged the prop gun that killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. Baldwin settled with Hutchins’ family last year, but the criminal charges have been pending.
