A judge on Friday ordered Alec Baldwin to face a civil trial in October over whether he negligently fired a gun on the set of “Rust.”

Baldwin’s manslaughter case was dismissed in July 2024, after the judge ruled that prosecutors had withheld evidence. But he continues to face a handful of lawsuits over the October 2021 shooting in Santa Fe, N.M., which led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
