At least three other lawsuits have been filed over the shooting, but this is the first directly tied to one of the two people shot.
The"reckless conduct and cost-cutting measures" of Baldwin and the film's producers"led to the death of Halyna Hutchins," attorney Brian Pannish said.
It said industry standards call for using a rubber or similar prop gun during the setup that was happening, and there was no call for a real gun. Last month, nearly three months after the shooting, Baldwin turned over his cellphone to authorities in his home state of New York. They gathered information from the phone and provided it to Santa Fe County investigators, who had obtained a warrant for it.
In an interview with ABC News in December, Baldwin said he felt incredible sadness over the shooting, but not guilt. "I didn't pull the trigger," Baldwin said."I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never."
