The investigations continue, but the investigators’ first findings indicate that actor Alec Baldwin’s set gun was loaded with live ammunition.
The gun that actor Alec Baldwin used on the set of the western “Rust” contained live ammunition, according to police. The investigators announced this on Wednesday at a press conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The released projectile could be secured, said Sheriff Adan Mendoza. There are indications that there was more live ammunition on the set. However, further investigations are necessary for this.

Investigators had found 600 pieces of evidence during the search of the filming location, including three weapons and ammunition. The investigations continued, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said. It is too early to decide on a possible charge. Everyone involved, including Baldwin, would cooperate with the police.
In the incident while filming at a film ranch in New Mexico, 42-year-old head camerawoman Halyna Hutchins was fatally injured last Thursday. Lead actor and producer Baldwin, 63, fired the gun during rehearsal for a scene. Director Joel Souza, 48, was injured in the shoulder in the incident, but was able to leave the hospital a little later.
