Actor Alec Baldwin and several others could face criminal charges, including homicide, for the fatal movie-set shooting last year of a cinematographer.

The New Mexico State district attorney recently filed an emergency request asking the state's finance board for additional funds to prosecute up to four people who worked on the film "Rust."

District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies was allocated about half of the requested $635,000.

Carmack-Altwies said the money would be used to pay for a special prosecutor, paralegal, special investigator, media spokesperson and gun and other experts.

"Experts in firearms, the handling of firearms on movie sets, and safety protocols on move sets, must be retained immediately," Carmack-Altwies wrote in the request.

Carmack-Altwies declined to name suspects when asked. In her requests for money, the district attorney wrote that one "of the possible defendants is well-known movie actor Alec Baldwin.

Carmack-Altwies wrote in her request that the case "needs to be prosecuted immediately," and her office would consider criminal charges, including homicide and gun law violations.

Baldwin held the handgun during a rehearsal when it fired the bullet that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said repeatedly he didn't pull the trigger and that the gun fired without his assistance, an account an FBI report disputes. The FBI concluded the trigger of the Petta Colt .45 had to be pulled for the gun to fire.

"The FBI report is being misconstrued," Baldwin's attorney Luke Nikas said in an August statement. "The gun fired in testing only one time — without having to pull the trigger — when the hammer was pulled back and the gun broke in two different places. The FBI was unable to fire the gun in any prior test, even when pulling the trigger, because it was in such poor condition."
