PHOTOSAlec Baldwin & Wife Hilaria Bundle Up For A Walk With Their Son In NYC Amid Accidental 'Rust' Shooting Lawsuit: Photos

Alec Baldwin was spotted on a brisk walk around the city after returning to New York earlier this month.
The 63-year-old actor was snapped strolling his young son Eduardo during a walk with his wife Hilaria Baldwin, 37, on Tuesday, November 23.
The sighting comes over a month after the 30 Rock alum accidentally shot and killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set of Rust.
On October 21, the It's Complicated star fired a prop gun that was loaded with live ammunition instead of blank rounds. Hutchins — who was working as the Director of Photography for the movie — was struck with a bullet to the chest. The film's director, Joel Souza, was also injured.
Authorities in Santa Fe have since stated that they are investigating Baldwin's role in the incident, as well as other staffers — including assistant director David Halls and lead armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — who also handled the firearm before the tragic accident.
Some critics have blamed Halls, who reportedly yelled the term "cold gun" while handing the firearm to the actor, meaning that it didn't contain any live rounds. However, many are still pointing fingers at Baldwin since he was the one who pulled the trigger.
The Drunk Parents star was recently hit with a lawsuit, filed by the film's key gaffer Serge Svetnoy, who claims that Baldwin's "negligence" has caused him emotional trauma. Svetnoy is also suing Halls and Guitierez-Reed for their role in the mixup as well.
The documents allege that Baldwin "owed a duty to Plaintiff and other crew members and actor on the Rust set to handle the Colt revolver provided to him by defendant Halls with reasonable care and dilligence for the safety of Rust cast and crew."
"This duty called for Defendant Bladwin to double check the Colt revolver with Halls upon being handled to ensure that it did not contain live ammunition," the docs continue.

Svetnoy also claimed that the bullet nearly struck him too, and that he was one of the first people to tend to the cinematographer after she was shot. He is seeking an unspecified amount in compensation for his trauma and is requesting a jury trial.
