A grand jury in New Mexico has charged Alec Baldwin with a fresh count of involuntary manslaughter over a fatal movie set shooting in October, 2021.
Previous charges against the Emmy award-winning actor were dropped last April, just two weeks before a criminal trial against him was due to begin.
Local prosecutors have since shared "additional facts" from forensic tests on the weapon used in the shooting.
Baldwin was practicing firing a Colt .45 pistol before filming a scene for Rust, an upcoming Western film shot near Santa Fe, in October 2021.
But the gun went off, fatally striking 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
The actor has maintained he did not pull the trigger and only drew back the hammer of the pistol.
