'Rust' crew settles lawsuit against film producers and Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting
SANTA FE, N.M. — A settlement has been reached in the civil lawsuit alleging negligence in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie 'Rust', according to court documents released Friday. The lawsuit was brought by three 'Rust' crew members seeking compensation for emotional distress from producers of 'Rust,' including Alec Baldwin as co-producer and lead actor. The civil suit accused producers of failing to follow industry safety rules — allegations they denied. Terms of the settlement were not available. Attorneys for 'Rust' producers and the plaintiffs could not immediately be reached by phone or email. Plaintiffs to the lawsuit included Ross Addiego, a front-line crew member who witnessed at close range the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins at close during a rehearsal on October 2021 on a filmset ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. A charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin was dismissed at trial last year on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. Separately, 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and completed an 18-month sentence in May. Prosecutors accused Gutierrez-Reed of unwittingly bringing live ammunition on set and failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. Baldwin was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Addiego testified at Gutierrez-Reed's trial and appeared before the grand jury that indicted Baldwin.

NHL trade rumors: Penguins could part ways with Bryan Rust as two teams circle with interest
As the Pittsburgh Penguins want to start a retooling phase, Bryan Rust's name has quickly become one of the most intriguing topics in the NHL trade rumor mill. The 32-year-old winger, known for his consistency and veteran leadership, is reportedly drawing interest from several teams despite being under contract through 2027-28 at a reasonable $5.125 million annual cap hit. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Penguins' Bryan Rust becomes a hot name in NHL trade circles as interest grows from two franchises Bryan Rust is coming off a strong campaign, one that has naturally increased his market value. While the Penguins aren't under pressure to move him immediately, their front office might view this offseason as the perfect window to capitalize on his current form. Given the direction Pittsburgh appears to be heading—shifting toward a younger, faster roster—it makes sense that they'd listen to offers, especially if they help replenish their prospect pool or bring back assets that align with a long-term vision. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman weighed in on the growing speculation during a recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast. 'I think there has been a lot of interest in Bryan Rust, and for good reason,' Friedman shared. 'It wouldn't surprise me if Buffalo was one of those teams, too... I would think Columbus would be another... But someone told me that Buffalo was one of the teams around Rust.' The Buffalo Sabres' interest, in particular, aligns perfectly with their current roster needs. After moving JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth, they're left with a noticeable gap in their top six. Rust, with his proven scoring touch and playoff pedigree, could seamlessly slot into that role. More importantly, his presence would add much-needed experience and leadership to a young core desperate for guidance and stability as they aim to break out of mediocrity. On the other hand, the Columbus Blue Jackets also emerge as a logical landing spot. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Rust could bring immediate depth and offensive spark to a forward group that has shown flashes of promise but lacks consistency. His addition to the top six and power play would provide a noticeable upgrade, especially as the Blue Jackets strive to become legitimate playoff contenders once again. While it remains uncertain whether a deal will be finalized this offseason, one thing is clear: Bryan Rust is a hot commodity. Whether it's Buffalo, Columbus, or a surprise suitor, the Penguins have a valuable asset on their hands—one that could soon reshape another franchise's fortunes. Also Read:
