Alec Baldwin is facing yet another legal battle after the Rust shooting! Three crew members who say they were on the scene when Alec shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film in New Mexico are now suing the actor, claiming it was a tragedy waiting to happen.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Ross Addiego (the dolly operator), Doran Curtin (the set costumer), and Reese Price (the key grip) are suing the film’s star and the Rust production team, claiming they were 3 of 7 people inside the church on the fateful day, and because of such, they were put in harm’s way and faced with emotional distress (such as post-traumatic stress disorder) after the fact.

All three crew members were in close proximity to Baldwin when the gun went off, causing them to suffer “blast injuries” from the deafening sound of the gunshot.

According to the complaint obtained by Variety, Halyna fell directly in front of Doran after getting injured, the lawsuit stated: Must have been so traumatic!

The lawsuit goes on to allege that the producers cut numerous corners throughout the production, including by hiring people who had been subject to previous safety complaints, such as the first assistant director David Halls.
