Change "In 2024, he starred in the Western film Rust, which gained media attention for a shooting incident in 2021, wherein cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally killed when a live round was discharged from a revolver that Baldwin was using as a prop." To "In 2024, he starred in the Western film Rust, which gained media attention for a shooting incident in 2021, wherein Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he discharged a live round while using a revolver as a prop." ~2026-30568-2 (talk) 03:43, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

The use of passive voice as it is really isn't okay. She wasn't accidentally killed by nobody, and the gun didn't fire itself.

Partly done: Changed the wording to "wherein cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed when Baldwin accidentally discharged a live round from a revolver that he was using as a prop", which seems like a good compromise between use of active and passive voice here.
